WRC rejects sick-leave complaint after claimant misses hearing

By Cathal Brosnan

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Emma O Connor’s complaint against Kingdom Investments Ltd not well founded after she failed to attend the hearing to pursue it. The decision was dated 17 September 2026. O Connor alleged she was penalised for exercising rights under the Sick Leave Act 2022. The employer argued she had worked just over eight weeks, short of the 13 weeks it said were required for statutory sick leave; the officer made no substantive finding on that argument.
