The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), in a decision dated 27 February 2024, ordered North Quay Associates Limited to pay Michael Broderick €450 compensation under the Sick Leave Act 2022. The adjudicator found that the employer had paid the amount due for three sick days, including a final payment in January 2024, and found no evidence that Broderick had been penalised. The award reflected the frustration and upset caused by the time and effort it took to obtain his legal entitlement.
