The Labour Court recommended that Milne Foods Ltd pay a worker €850 after she lost two weeks’ wages during sick leave following an allergic reaction to cleaning products at work. The recommendation was signed on 2 November 2016. The worker sought a different shift pattern to avoid exposure, but the company placed her on unpaid sick leave. The union, SIPTU, said the company might have resolved the issue without lost wages by acting on her GP’s recommendation. The company did not attend the hearing.
