Date of Adjudication Hearing: 17/01/2019

Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Marguerite Buckley

Procedure:

In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 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.

Background:

There was no attendance by either party at the hearing.

Summary of Complainant’s Case:

No attendance.

Summary of Respondent’s Case:

No attendance.

Findings and Conclusions:

A complaint was received by the Director General of the Workplace Relations commission from the Complainant on the 6th April 2018 alleging that his former employer contravened the provisions of the above statute. The said complaint was referred to me for investigation. A hearing for that purpose was held on 17th January 2019. There was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant at the hearing. I am satisfied that the said complainant was informed in writing of the date, time and place at which the hearing to investigate the complaint would be held.

In these circumstances and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary having been adduced before me, I must conclude that the within complaint is not well-founded and I decide accordingly.

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.

The within complaint is not well-founded and I decide accordingly.
