LESBIAN
'IS SACKED FOR PREGNANCY'
A lesbian estate agent claims she was sacked from a gay-friendly
company because she became pregnant.
Corinna Slow was fired after her boss found out she was 16 weeks into
the pregnancy. The 27-year-old accused Kevin Newman of 'failing to
consider the possibility' she might have a baby. But Mr Newman said he
dismissed her because of her poor performance.
Ms Slow claimed unfair dismissal and sexual discrimination against Mr
Newman of company 2Let.

HOW HR2all CAN HELP
DISMISSAL
In the case above, the employer states that the employee
under-performed in her role and that this was the cause of the
dismissal. The employee obviously think differently.

tribunal? Live with poor performance despite its adverse affect on your
business and the rest of the team? Take a gamble on correctly handling
the situation and risk thousands of pounds in tribunal costs? Or use
caontact HR2all to:
- discuss the individual case and suitable action
- conduct a performance appraisal and document
the outcome
- be guided through the statutory disciplinary
and dismissal procedures
- produce all necessary documentation providing a
clear audit trail of your discussions, decisions and consequent actions.
