Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 and/or 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).
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The claimant did not attend and was not represented at the hearing. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The respondent did not attend and was not represented at the hearing |
Decision:
Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint(s)/dispute(s) in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act.
Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act 1991 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under that Act.
I am satisfied that the claimant was duly notified of the date time and place at which the hearing to investigate the complaint would be held. The claimant did not attend and no application for a postponement was submitted in the weeks preceding the hearing. 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. |
