£42k payout | Victory for employee who was refused WFH request during lockdown

A therapist who lost her job after insisting she worked from home during the pandemic has been awarded £42,000 by an employment tribunal.

Alison O’Mahony, a therapist at the Priory in Kent, said she had not wanted to risk her own health, or the health of others by working from the mental health facility when she felt her work could “absolutely” be done from home during lockdown.
