Company appeals maternity leave discrimination ruling
Cape Argus
|May 26, 2025
A DURBAN paint company, that has been ordered to pay a former worker more than R700 000 after the Labour Court found that it had unfairly discriminated against the pregnant woman by sending her early on maternity leave without pay, is set on appealing the ruling and will argue that the court has made several erroneous findings against it.
Induradec Coatings Pty in Pinetown has been ordered to pay Tiisetso Daisy Moleme, a chemist working for the company, R724 000 in compensation, which is equivalent to 11 months' salary. The paint company has meanwhile filed an application for leave to appeal the ruling.
As Moleme's job entailed the development of products and research, she became concerned about the chemicals with which she had to work when she became pregnant. After telling her employer that she was pregnant, she expressed her concern to the human resources department and requested to be moved out of the laboratory.
