Cynthia Thomson is seeking $A223,000 in damages from Orica Australia. Thomson claims that she was implicitly demoted by the chemicals company when she returned to work after taking maternity leave. The Federal Court has found Orica Australia guilty of violating its own family leave policy. The company argued that Thomson was given a position with the same salary, conditions and grading when she returned to work. The court ruled that she was assigned customers with lower sales values and that the content of her work made it clear she had effectively been demoted.
