A man who was told 'not to play the disability card' by his bosses at Home Bargains has been given a £25,000 payout.
Ryan Walker, 26, who has cerebral palsy, had been working as a sales assistant at the homeware store since July 2017, mostly in stock filling and in the warehouse. The role suited him as he needed to keep his body moving to ease symptoms of the condition, which he notified bosses of during his job interview.
But the former employee said things changed when he got a new supervisor in late 2020. He claims this supervisor regularly asked him to cover checkouts and work extra hours, reports BelfastLive.
