Act | Complaint/Dispute Reference No. | Date of Receipt |
Complaint seeking adjudication by the Workplace Relations Commission under section 27 of the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997 | CA-00012701-001 | 21/07/2017 |
Date of Adjudication Hearing: 03/10/2017
Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Gaye Cunningham
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 and Section 27 of the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997, 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.
Background:
The Complainant sought holiday pay unpaid at the time of the end of his employment. |
Decision:
The Complainant did not attend the hearing convened to consider his claim. An email message from him to state that he could not attend was received by the Workplace Relations Commission less than 24 hours before the hearing. The email requested that the hearing proceed in his absence or alternatively provide him with another date. I find that he received considerable notice of the hearing and his request for an alternative date, made less than 24 hours prior to the hearing is denied.
This complaint fails for lack of prosecution.
