Complaint seeking adjudication by the Workplace Relations Commission under Section 12 of the Minimum Notice & Terms of Employment Act, 1973 | CA-00034744-001 | 19/02/2020 |
Date of Adjudication Hearing: 01/12/2020
Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Thomas O'Driscoll
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. This hearing was to be heard remotely but neither the Complainant nor the Respondent logged in. I am satisfied that the Complainant had full notification of the hearing. The Complainant had sought a postponement of the hearing on the day the hearing was to take place. The basis for her request was that she had confused her days of availability, but this was refused. I am also satisfied that the Respondent was sent adequate notification at the address supplied by the Complainant.
Background:
The Complainant submitted in her complaint form that she had not received the statutory minimum notice when the Respondent company ceased trading. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The Complainant did not log in to the hearing to give evidence on her complaint. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The Respondent did not log in to the hearing. |
Findings and Conclusions:
The Complainant did not log in to the hearing to give evidence on her complaint therefore the complaint fails. |
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.
The Complainant did not log in to the hearing to give evidence on the complaint therefore her complaint fails. |
