A nursing home has been ordered to pay €150,000 to three care workers who were sexually harassed by an alcohol-fuelled 93-year-old male resident.
All three care assistants were dismissed following a flashpoint involving the resident on January 7, 2018. The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) has ordered that the nursing home pay each care worker €50,000 compensation made up of €30,000 for the distress caused by the sexual harassment and €20,000 for the victimisation and penalisation by the nursing home.
