Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 and the abovementioned Act, 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).
Background:
The complainant was employed by the respondent in the period from 23rd of September 2012 until the 24th of May 2017. He was paid €10 per hour and worked 40 hours per week. The parties were notified of the time, date and venue set for the hearing. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The complainant submits that the business of the employer ceased on the 24th of May 2017 and that he was not paid his entitlement to statutory minimum notice. |
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 adduced at hearing I find that the complaint is well founded. I hereby require that the respondent pay the complainant his statutory entitlement to minimum notice in the amount of €800 (say eight hundred euro). |
