The WRC awarded canteen manager Teresa Kenny €819 after finding her employer, Ballinasloe Co-operative Livestock Mart Limited, underpaid her sick-pay top-ups. The decision was dated 10 June 2022. Kenny said her line manager had agreed to a weekly top-up of €91 while she was on sick leave. The employer denied an agreement and relied on a policy limiting sick pay to two weeks. The adjudicator preferred Kenny’s account, finding that she was owed €819 during the complaint period. The award is subject to usual income deductions.
