What legislation covers the case study

Reference no: EM133227097

Case study - A position of supervisor has become available at Sheep Stations Nursing home where Mary, 62 and Andrea, aged 22, work. Mary has worked at Sheep Stations for 15 years and is a highly respected member of staff. She was a registered nurse in her early career and has been a personal care worker for the last 20 years. Andrea has been working at Sheep Stations for 8 months and is a qualified personal care worker as well. She is also well liked by staff and residents.

Both women were encouraged to apply for the position of supervisor by their respective managers. Both applied and neither one was successful. Human Resources told them both that they were unsuitable and the position was advertised externally.

Mary and Andrea asked for feedback from HR so they could improve their skills. HR did not respond to their requests but a panellist informed Mary that management said she was too old, and she would most likely retire soon. The same panellist informed Andrea that she was too young for a supervisor position and that staff would not respect her in that role.
