'Embarrassed & degraded' | Tribunal win for employee sent home after boss deemed dress 'too short'

An employee who was sent home over the length of her dress has successfully sued her employer for harassment after stating she was ‘body shamed’.

Levinna Ola claimed that during her employment as a pharmacy assistant at King's College Hospital in London, she was sent home by bosses for breaching the NHS trust’s dress code guidelines on “revealing clothing” and was described as having “issues of short skirtness” after wearing a skirt that was three inches above her knees.
