In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 and Section 13 of the Industrial Relations Acts 1969following 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 submitted a grievance against another employee and never received any response to his Grievance. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The Complainant commenced employment on January 28th 2017 as a Heritage Worker. He submitted a formal grievance of Bullying against another employee by email on October 10th 2018 and received a response from the Respondent on the following day to that stated they will “initiate a full investigation” into the allegations. The Complainant was met at his workplace by two Board Directors subsequently but this discussion was held while he was at work and other staff or public were present. The Complainat received no outcome to his grievance. The Complainant lost five days work due to stress. The person who the complaints were against left the organisation in January 2019. |
