The Labour Court upheld a Rights Commissioner's recommendation in a loss-of-earnings dispute involving the Eastern Health Board and a home care attendant. It specified compensation equal to 24 weeks' net pay. The decision was dated 20 July 1998. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said the worker had lost earnings while alternative employment was being sought. The Board said her duties could not accommodate light work and that it arranged other employment for her. The Court upheld the recommendation on the basis of compensation for loss of earnings.
