ADJUDICATION OFFICER DECISION

Adjudication Decision Reference: ADJ-00000125

Complaint for Resolution:

Date of Adjudication Hearing: 13/01/2016

Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Pat Brady

Procedure:

In accordance with Section 41(4) of the Workplace Relations Act, and the Industrial Relations Acts 1969 following the referral of the complaint to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint.

Complainant’s Submission and Presentation:

The complaint was that the complainant had been unfairly dismissed. She had less than twelve month’s service.

Decision:

Section 41(4) of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act..

As part of my investigation under the Acts, I am obliged to hold a hearing.

All reasonable efforts were made to inform the complainant of the hearing. I find that the complainants’ failure to attend such a hearing was unreasonable in the circumstances outlined above.

As no evidence was given at the hearing in support of the complaint, I conclude the investigation and find against the complainant.

I dismiss her claims..
