Your boss is legally required to pay you if you fall ill from today 💸
Last year, the Oireachtas passed the Sick Leave Act and it means, for the first time, that those who take time off work because of illness are entitled to three days' pay.
“Many sick pay schemes in Ireland [previously] had waiting days - so you didn’t get sick pay until maybe the third, fourth or fifth day of absence,” Managing Director of The HR Suite, Caroline Reidy, explained“Effective now from 1st January, people will have an automatic entitlement from the first day of absence.”
