The Labour Court varied a recommendation in a dispute between Kilkenny County Council and a worker represented by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union (SIPTU) over extended special leave with pay following COVID-related absence. Its decision was signed on 19 April 2023. The Court found the Council had not received the original medical certificate for the absence or the doctor’s report. It said SIPTU should arrange for both original documents to be provided to the Council. Once it receives them, the Council should review the worker’s eligibility for the extended special leave scheme, taking the circumstances into account.
