Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Michael McEntee
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 and Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991 following 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 issues in contention concern an allegation of non-payment of wages due to a Receptionist from a Hotel chain. |
1: Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The Complainant did not attend the Hearing and no evidence was presented. |
2: Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The Respondent did not attend and no rebuttal evidence to the Complaint was presented. |
3: Findings and Conclusions:
A complaint was received, from the Complainant on the 28th August 2019, by the Director General of the Workplace Relations Commission alleging a breach of the Payment of Wages Act,1991. The said complaint was referred to me for investigation. A hearing for that purpose was held on 30th October 2019. There was no appearance by or on behalf of the Complainant or Respondent at the hearing. I am satisfied that both Parties were 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. |
4: Decision:
Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 and Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991 require that I make a decision in relation to the complaint(s)/dispute(s) in accordance with the relevant redress provisions of the cited Acts.
I find that the Complaint is not Well Founded.
