Made redundant because of age
June 2021
Jackie* is 54 and was made redundant after a restructure.
She felt her employer had terminated her employment based on her age. Jackie made a complaint of age discrimination to ADNSW.
At conciliation, Jackie said a member of the management team publicly stated that the business wanted employees who were young, vibrant and recent graduates.
The employer responded stating the position was made redundant as a result of a genuine restructure.
Jackie was provided with financial compensation and the matter was resolved.
