Complaint seeking adjudication by the Workplace Relations Commission under section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991	CA-00033556-001	09/01/2020

Date of Adjudication Hearing: 03/08/2021

Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Breiffni O'Neill

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.

Background:

The Complainant stated in her complaint form that she was due to be paid €432 by the Respondent on 1 November 2019 but did not receive it.

Summary of Complainant’s Case:

The Complainant did not attend to give evidence

Summary of Respondent’s Case:

The Respondent did not attend to give evidence

Findings and Conclusions:

Despite having sent emails to the address provided by the Complainant in advance of the hearing, no response was received by her.

Having reviewed these emails, I am satisfied that the Complainant was on notice that the hearing was due to take place.

Given her failure to attend to give evidence, I find that her 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.

The complaint is not well founded for the reasons set out above.
