'You don't look it' | Domino's Pizza store asked for job candidate's age - an error HR can learn from

A woman has received a pay out of more than £4,000 after interviewers at a Domino’s Pizza branch asked for her age during an interview.

As reported by the BBC, Janice Walsh believed she was ultimately turned down for the role at pizza chain’s branch in Strabane, Northern Ireland, because of her age and sex.

She subsequently launched a discrimination case against the franchisee Justin Quirk, who has now paid her £4,250 and issued an apology.

Since the incident, the store has been under new management, though the firm said Quirk’s departure was unrelated to this incident.
