TDs and Senators of a Dail committee have given the green light to the automatic right of up to 10 days' sick pay a year for all workers.
This new right will be protected by law and will be enforceable in the case of disputes through the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) and the courts.
This year a worker will be entitled to three days of paid sick leave from their employer up to 70% of the day’s pay, capped at €110.
