Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Gerry Rooney
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 following the referral of the complaints to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaints and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaints.
Background:
The Complainant submitted in his complaint form that he had not received his statutory intervals at work breaks, that he had not been notified in writing of changes to his terms and conditions of his employment, and he had not received a written statement of his employment conditions.
The Complainant did not attend the hearing.
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The Respondent attended the hearing.
Decision:
Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaints in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act.
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.
