Labour Court upholds recommendation on David Mayrs Ltd sick pay

The Labour Court upheld a Rights Commissioner's recommendation on sick-pay arrangements after David Mayrs Ltd appealed. The decision was signed on 16 March 2000. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought payment for a driver's certified sick absences. The company cited his absence record and the cost of continued payments. The Court said the withdrawal of sick pay had not been treated as disciplinary action and upheld the recommendation. It said the parties should consider a formal sick-pay agreement and disciplinary procedure.
