Payout for women who got breast cancer after night shifts - CNN.com
(CNN) -- Employers in Denmark have started paying compensation to women who have developed breast cancer after working night shifts.
To qualify for compensation, women must have developed breast cancer after having worked at least one night shift a week for 20 to 30 years.
The move came after the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, concluded that night work is "probably carcinogenic to humans," in October 2007.
