Complaint seeking adjudication by the Workplace Relations Commission under Section 28 of the Safety, Health & Welfare at Work Act, 2005 | CA-00015958-001 | 23/11/2017 |
Date of Adjudication Hearing: 03/04/2018
Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Catherine Byrne
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015, this complaint was assigned to me by the Director General. A hearing was arranged for April 3rd 2018; however, the complainant did not attend at the WRC at the scheduled time of 1.30pm, although Mr Landers of Impact attended with the expectation that she would be there. I established that the complainant was correctly on notice of the hearing. After 30 minutes, the complainant had still not arrived and she was not contactable by telephone.
The company’s legal counsel attended, accompanied by the Director and Deputy Director of In-flight Services.
Decision:
Section 41 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 she did not attend the hearing scheduled for April 3rd 2018, the complainant has failed to establish the validity of her complaint. I therefore conclude the investigation and find against the complainant. |
