The Complainant had presented a complaint that he did not receive a redundancy payment in breach of his rights and entitlements under the Redundancy Payment Act 1967.   The complaint was presented to the Workplace Relations Commission on 12^th November 2015. However the Complainant was not present or represented at the Hearing and likewise the Respondent was not present or represented at the Hearing.

The Complainant was not present or represented at the Hearing.

Likewise the Respondent was not present or represented at the Hearing.

Findings and Decision:

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

The Complainant was not present or represented at the Hearing, accordingly I must find and declare that the complaint under the Redundancy Payments Acts is not well founded; it is rejected and it fails for lack of prosecution.
