ADJUDICATION OFFICER DECISION

Adjudication Decision Reference: ADJ-00003395

Complaint for Resolution:

Date of Adjudication Hearing: 3^rd August 2016

Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Kevin Baneham

Procedure:

On the 24^th May 2016, the complainant referred a complaint to the Workplace Relations Commission pursuant to the Payment of Wages Act. The complaint was scheduled for adjudication on the 3^rd August 2016.

At the time the adjudication was scheduled to commence, it became apparent that there was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant. I verified that he was on notice of the adjudication. I also waited for some time to accommodate any late arrival. When there was still no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant, I proceeded with the adjudication in his absence. The respondent was represented at the adjudication by a company director.

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.

Attendance at the Hearing:

Complainant’s Submission and Presentation:

None as there was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant.

Respondent’s Submission and Presentation:

The company director attended to reply to the complaint.

Findings and reasoning:

None as the complaint fails for want of prosecution.

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 there was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant, the complaint fails for want of prosecution.

Dated:   14^th July 2017
