Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Emile Daly
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 following the referral of the complaint(s)/dispute(s) to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint(s)/dispute(s) and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint(s)/dispute(s).
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The Complainant commenced work on 5 September 2016 The Complainant finished work on 7 October 2016. During the month that she worked the Complainant did not receive any wages. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
No appearance |
Decision:
Section 41 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.
Based on the uncontested evidence of the Complainant the failure by the Respondent to pay the Complainant any wages for the month that she worked is in breach of the Payment of Wages Act 1991. The complaint therefore is well founded. Under section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act 1991 it is now ordered that the Respondent pay to the Complainant the sum of €1900 (being the agreed net monthly payment due to the Complainant.) |
