Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Brian Dolan
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41(4) of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 and following the presentation by an employee of a complaint of a contravention by an employer of an Act contained in Schedule 5 of the Workplace Relations Act of 2015, made to the Director General and following a referral by the said Director General of this matter to the Adjudication services, I can confirm that I have fulfilled my obligation to make all relevant inquiries into the complaint.
In particular, the Complainant herein has referred the following complaint:
A complaint of a contravention of Section 5 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991, that is, a Complaint of an unlawful deduction having been made from the Employee’s wage/remueration. Pursuant to Section 6 of the said 1991 Act, and in circumstances where I find that the complaint of a contravention of Section 5 aforesaid is deemed to be well founded, then I may direct that the employer pay to the employee an amount which is subject to the limits set out in Section 6 of the 1991 Payment of Wages Act 1991.
Background:
The Complainant alleged that his wages were subject to unlawful deductions by his employer. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The Complainant did not attend the hearing or offer any evidence. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The Respondent did not attend the hearing or offer any evidence. |
Findings and Conclusions:
Having reviewed the file, I am satisfied that both the Complainant and the Respondent were on notice of the hearing as arranged and that the relevant notices were sent to the correct addresses. It is also apparent that no explanation has been offered in respect of the absence of either party at the hearing. Given that the Complainant has not offered any evidence or submission, I find that the complaint is not well-founded. |
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.
Complaint seeking adjudication by the Workplace Relations Commission under section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991 CA-00030603-001 I find that the complaint is not well founded.
