"A veteran employee of the Ballymaloe Cookery School who was pulled up for being "persistently late" by its new management team after founder Darina Allen stepped back from her day-to-day role at the business has failed in a claim for discrimination."
"The worker, Julija Makejeva, expressed feelings of "betrayal" at the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) over the school's attitude to timekeeping following her return from maternity leave in 2021."
A long-serving employee at Ballymaloe Cookery School faced disciplinary action for being described as "persistently late" by a new management team after founder Darina Allen reduced her day-to-day involvement. The employee, Julija Makejeva, returned from maternity leave in 2021 and raised concerns about the school's approach to timekeeping, expressing feelings of "betrayal" at the Workplace Relations Commission. The matter proceeded to a formal discrimination claim, which was ultimately unsuccessful. The case centers on workplace timekeeping expectations, management changes following a founder's reduced role, and the employee's response after maternity leave.
