ADJUDICATION OFFICER DECISION

Adjudication Decision Reference: ADJ-00000734

Complaint for Resolution:

Date of Adjudication Hearing: 17/02/2016

Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Pat Brady

Procedure:

In accordance with Section 41(4) of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 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 complainant had been employed by the respondent as a chef for approximately eight months.

In due course he gave the respondent notice of his intention to leave and eventually did so on November 6^th 2015.

He received an email from the respondent on November 18^th enclosing his P45 and two payslips which were exhibited in evidence in the amounts of €402.84 and €316.43. However he did not receive any payments for these amounts. He says he  has reason to believe that his former employer will not make the payments.

Respondent’s Submission and Presentation:

The Respondent did not attend nor make any submission.

Conclusions and Findings

I find that the complainant has not been paid wages due to him for weeks ending October 30^th and November 6^th 2015 and that he is due €719.27 on the basis of the payslips sent to him by the respondent..

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.

Accordingly I award him €719.27 being the wages due to him.

Dated:   11^th March 2016
