Worker out sick for 15 years sues employer who refuses to give pay rise

A man who was out sick for 15 years took his employer to court for discrimination after he was refused a pay rise.

Ian Clifford, who is a senior IT worker, alleged that he was the victim of "disability discrimination" by tech giant IBM after failing to get a salary increase since 2008, The Daily Record reported.

He takes home £54,000 per annum and is guaranteed it until 65 - as part of a health plan, which will see him pocket more than £1.5 million.
