Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Seán Reilly
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015, Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act 1991 and following the referral of the complaints to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaints and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaints.
Background:
The Complainant was not present at the Hearing. SIPTU were present and they stated that they could not establish contact with the Complainant, despite their best efforts (details provided to the Hearing) to obtain her instructions and accordingly were not in a position to state what her position was.
Findings and Conclusions:
The Complainant was not present at the Hearing and accordingly I must find and conclude that the complaint is not well founded and that it is rejected for lack of prosecution. |
Decision:
Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaints in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act.
Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act 1991, requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the provisions of the same Section of the 1991 Act.
Based on the above findings I must declare that the complaint under Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act 1991 is not well founded; it is rejected and is not upheld for lack of prosecution. |
