Kaila Farmer won a pregnancy discrimination case and was awarded £73,500 after being sacked for working from home due to morning sickness.
The Employment Tribunal found that the office-based post was a key factor influenced by pregnancy and sick leave.
Judge McCooey noted the dismissal appeared predetermined and not solely about performance.
The tribunal indicated Mr Pill’s communications suggested a predetermined dismissal rather than a genuine performance issue.
Farmer said she faced a tough, two-year tribunal process and credits Pregnant Then Screwed for support.
Farmer moved from living in South Africa to Reading, then faced dismissal in 2024–2025 following remote work.
The tribunal ruled the pregnancy-related sick leave was a central factor in the dismissal decision.
Farmer’s daughter said she plans to find a new role after the Tribunal decision.
Farmer publicly thanked Pregnant Then Screwed for supporting women through tribunal processes.
The decision highlights ongoing concerns about pregnancy discrimination in the workplace.
