Employment judge rejects claims that a doctor was ‘racially profiled’ when she was asked to roll up her sleeves in line with hygiene rules
Not everything that happens in the workplace to a Muslim will be related to religion, a tribunal judge has said.
Employment Judge Kirsty Ayre ruled an NHS consultant was not discriminated against after bosses told her to roll up her sleeves at work in line with hygiene rules.
Dr Farhat Butt, who wears a hijab and covers up everything other than her hands, feet and face while in public, said she was “racially profiled” and then “bullied” by managers into exposing her forearms.
