The complainant is a Russian national and alleged the respondent organisation did not offer her a job, citing sanctions against Russia in place at the time of the recruitment process.
The organisation said the decision was made in compliance with relevant sanctions against Russia and it could be in breach of the law if it hired the complainant. The organisation indicated a willingness to try and resolve the complaint by conciliation.
The parties discussed the sanctions laws and the risk assessment employed by the respondent at the conciliation conference. The complainant was satisfied with the detailed explanation provided by the respondent during conciliation, and was content to close the complaint as resolved on the basis of the information provided.
