A worker’s dispute over sick leave failed after he did not attend a WRC hearing. Adjudication Officer David James Murphy recommended that the employer take no further action; the recommendation was dated 21 February 2025. The merits were not decided. The worker had been on sick leave before resigning in November 2023. The employer said it had tried to support his safe return to work. Murphy found the worker had been notified of the hearing at the email address he gave the WRC.
