The Board of Equal Treatment held that a company's dismissal of an employee was contrary to the Discrimination Act on the grounds of disability.
A disabled employee suffering from anxiety and PTSD was dismissed after nine years in a flexi job. The company had attempted to put reasonable measures in place, including redeploying the employee. However, the Board of Equal Treatment found that the company had not done enough, failing to meet its obligation to adapt accordingly. As a result, the employee received compensation equivalent to 12 months' pay.
