The Labour Court rejected a worker’s appeal over night shifts and sick leave in a recommendation dated 5 March 2025. The worker, a Health Care Attendant at Galway University Hospital, sought restoration of his former rota and sick leave used in 2023. The Court did not recommend restoring the worker’s previous rota of seven consecutive night shifts, finding his current pattern appropriate to the role. It also said the public-sector sick-leave rules did not allow the employer to restore the leave he had used. The Court varied the Adjudication Officer’s recommendation and recommended neither requested concession.
