The Labour Court recommended extending United Drug PLC's paid maternity scheme to all staff in its Dublin offices. The recommendation was signed on 22 November 2004. The scheme topped up social welfare payments to normal basic pay for salaried staff, while waged staff received only social welfare entitlements. The Amicus MSF Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought equal access for waged staff; United Drug PLC raised concerns about costs and claims for other benefits. The Court considered the exclusion of waged staff anomalous and recommended extending the existing scheme to them.
