The complainant worked as a bus driver and cared for his wife, who has schizophrenia, epilepsy and depression. He alleged the respondent bus company regularly rostered him on for night shifts despite his request that he work only during the day to enable him to care for his wife at night.
The bus company denied discriminating against the complainant, but agreed to participate in conciliation.
The complaint was resolved with an agreement that the complainant would be rostered to work until the early evening at the latest, subject to particular roster constraints that may arise from time to time and necessary reviews, such as staff shortages and/or timetable changes.
