Michael Broderick was awarded €450 compensation after the Workplace Relations Commission found North Quay Associates Limited had breached the Sick Leave Act 2022, in a decision dated 27 February 2024.

The dispute concerned three days of sick leave Broderick took in July 2023. The company accepted it had failed to meet its statutory obligations and paid the outstanding sick pay in full by January 2024, according to the adjudication decision.

The adjudicator found no evidence that Broderick had been penalised for raising his entitlement. She said he was entitled to compensation for the time and effort it took to receive the payment, and ordered the €450 award.
