Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Pat Brady

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.

Summary of Complainant’s Case:

The complainant did not attend the hearing

Summary of Respondent’s Case:

The respondent was in attendance.

Findings and Conclusions:

A complaint was received by the Director General of the Workplace Relations commission by the complainant alleging breaches of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991.

The said complaint was referred to me for investigation. A hearing for that purpose was held on February 8th, 2019.

There was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant at the hearing.

I am satisfied that the said complainant was sent notice in writing of the date, time and place at which the hearing to investigate the complaint would be held to the address provided by her on the complaint form.

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.

For the reason set out above complaint CA-00023997-001 is not upheld and is dismissed.
