The Labour Court shortened a worker’s suspension from Tesco Ireland Ltd’s sick-pay scheme and recommended restoring her to the scheme from 1 September 2014. Its decision, signed on 22 September 2014, varied the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation while affirming it in other respects. The worker appealed after being removed from the scheme before an internal investigation into absenteeism had concluded. The Court said Tesco’s failure to address her consistent absence pattern earlier was a mitigating factor.
