Security guard stabbed on the job awarded €3.4k for missed wages while on sick leave

In addition to the pay issue, the complainant was not always given a rest period of not less than 11 consecutive hours in each period of 24 hours and provided evidence that this happened 30 times in the six months before the complaint form was issued

Ankit Rawat began working as a security guard for the respondent’s entity YSS Pvt Ltd at a shopping mall in the Clondalkin area in Dublin in December 2023. He was stabbed during the course of his work on May 22 last year. 

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) has ordered a company to pay a security guard, who was stabbed on the job, compensation of €3,400 as he did not receive his full wage entitlement when he was away on sick leave.

The hearing took place on June 8 and the respondent in the case did not attend.
