A Waterford hotel has been ordered to pay a former chef a sum of €20,000 over its failure to adequately address complaints that she was being sexually harassed by a male colleague.
The Workplace Relations Commission directed the Greenway Manor Hotel in Kilotteran, Waterford to pay the compensation award to the chef, Nadine Harty, who had resigned from her job over the matter.
The WRC ruled that Ms Harty had been harassed and sexually harassed and subjected to discrimination by the hotel on grounds of gender in relation to her conditions of employment under the Employment Equality Act.
