A Primark employee is suing the retail giant for not allowing her to have time off to care for her new baby.
Natasha Allen was working as a manager in the store when she was asked to 'guarantee her availability' to work the late shift on Thursdays because the store did not have enough senior staff to cover her absence. However, the 29 year old argued this was unfair and has gone on to try and sue the company for sex discrimination.
The new mum argued that she was the principal carer of her then new born daughter. After the clothing chain rejected her request for flexible working, the departmental manager resigned and took her case to an employment tribunal, reports Wales Online.
