Labour Court recommends sick pay under McCarren agreement

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended that McCarren & Co. Ltd pay a worker sick pay under its agreement with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union (SIPTU), in a recommendation dated 9 July 2009. The worker had not been paid for absences due to illness in May and September 2008. McCarren said it had ceased dealing with the union and paid sick pay only for workplace accidents. The Court found the 1998 agreement had not been revised under its terms and remained in force, so the worker should receive sick pay in accordance with it.
