CLAIM EXAMPLES
IT Company
A successful IT company had a staff of six employees working on development. Over time, five of these employees were promoted to more senior positions.
The sixth employee, knowing that she had equal skills, sued the company for failure to promote her on the sole basis that she was female. The claim on the policy paid the award costs plus the employer’s defence.
