Labour Court recommends South Eastern Health Board's temporary sick-pay scheme for worker

In 1991, the Labour Court recommended that the South Eastern Health Board’s interpretation of a worker’s contract be accepted: she was appointed on a temporary, part-time basis, her post was non-pensionable, and it qualified for the temporary officers’ sick-pay scheme. The recommendation was dated 20 May 1991. The Board and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union disputed whether the worker’s sick pay should be governed by the permanent or temporary officers’ scheme. The Court also found her tenure ran to age 65, subject to satisfactory service, which the Board confirmed.
