A woman whose boss smacked her bottom with a ruler after ordering her to stand during a meeting has won £90,000 after settling her sexual harassment claim.
The woman, who has not been named, was told to stand up and turn around by a male manager during the meeting at a firm in Northern Ireland last year.
The woman, who eventually quit her job in protest at her treatment, looked at the other male manager and asked: "Is that allowed?"The woman felt so humiliated and embarrassed by the assault, that she initially couldn’t even tell her mother or boyfriend about what had happened and refused to work until the matter was addressed.
When the woman raised a grievance, it took her employer 10 days to respond and five weeks to investigate. The employer's inquiry upheld her grievance but also accused her of dressing and behaving provocatively, which she strongly denied.
