A Scots funeral director has been awarded a payout after a tribunal ruled she was unfairly sacked for not being on call after she received treatment for cancer.
Janie Crampshee was discriminated against by Dignity Funerals when she returned to work after having undergone radiotherapy and chemotherapy.The tribunal concluded that Dignity Funeral did not "give her a chance" to return the full responsibilities of her role, Aberdeen Live reports.
Ms Crampshee described her position at the company as her "dream job". Ms Crampshee began working as a trainee funeral director in 2014 for Aberdeen Funeral Directors before being promoted to the role of funeral director.
However, she was diagnosed with cancer in January 2016 and underwent intensive treatment, during which time she was off work longterm.
