Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court upheld a recommendation for €2,000 compensation and a letter of comfort for a worker who sought an investigation into her bullying complaint against the Health Service Executive. In its decision dated 30 July 2018, the Court refused her appeal for increased compensation and a retrospective investigation, finding the incidents too remote to reopen after changes in personnel. The worker, a Multi-Task Attendant in Portlaoise Hospital’s catering department, appealed through the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union. The HSE had accepted the original recommendation in full. The Court also noted that she had received her full sick-pay entitlements for leave related to the historical incidents.
