Complaint for Resolution:

Date of Adjudication Hearing: 01/12/2016

Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Penelope McGrath

Procedure:

In accordance with Section 41(4) of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 and following the presentation by an employee of a complaint of a contravention by an employer of an Act contained in Schedule 5 of the Workplace Relations Act of 2015, made to the Director General and following a referral by the said Director General of this matter to the Adjudication services, I can confirm that I have fulfilled my obligation to make myself available to make all relevant inquiries into the complaint or dispute.

The Complainant herein has brought a complaint (by way of a workplace relations complaint form) pursuant to his entitlements under the Redundancy Payments Acts and particularly under Section 7 and or section 37 of the 1967 Act which allows an employee over the age of 16 and in 104 weeks of continuous service to seek statutory redundancy in the event that his position ceases and he has not been replaced and his employer has failed to make the payment.

The Complainant herein has referred a matter for dispute resolution under Sections 39 of the Redundancy Payments Act, 1967.

Complainant’s Submission and Presentation:

No Appearance

Respondent’s Submission and Presentation:

No Appearance

Decision:

I am satisfied that the parties herein were put on notice of the intended date for the hearing of this matter.

In circumstances where neither party turned up and where there has been no contact made with the Workplace Relations Commission I have struck out the within claim for want of prosecution on behalf of the Complainant.
