The Health Service Executive (HSE) must pay €86,717, equal to one year's pay, to a female pharmacist who was repeatedly sexually harassed by a senior workplace colleague. The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) adjudicator Conor Stokes issued a hard-hitting ruling that the HSE failed the complainant. The finding was grounded in the HSE's delay in investigating the woman's sexual harassment complaint. The compensation award recognizes both the repeated harassment by a senior colleague and the employer's procedural shortcomings. The ruling emphasizes employer responsibility to investigate promptly and protect staff from harassment in the workplace.
