The hearing of this matter was arranged to take place on Thursday 16th November 2017 at 9.00am in the offices of the Workplace Relations Commission, Lansdowne House, Dublin 4. The Respondent attended as scheduled as did the representative for the Complainant. The Complainant failed to attend the hearing and attempts to contact herb were unsuccessful.
Correspondence issued to the Complainant outlining the date, time and venue of the hearing some six weeks in advance of the hearing. I waited until 9.30am in the event that the Complainant was delayed. There was no further contact from the Complainant.
In accordance with Section 8 of the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 - 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.
