A woman who accepted £215,000 in a discrimination settlement says she was left sick to her stomach by her experience.
Maeve Bradley alleged she was excluded from a promotion opportunity at Citibank in Belfast during her maternity leave.
She had believed she would be in line for a promotion when she returned to work after having her baby.
The case was settled without admission of liability.
In a statement, Citibank said: “We were keen to retain Ms Bradley as an employee at Citi and are disappointed that we were unable to reach an agreement on her return to work”.
“At Citi, we strive to foster an inclusive workplace. Ensuring that our standards are well understood and complied with by everyone at Citi is a continuous, proactive process.”
