Decision:
Section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 – 2012 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under that Act.
A complaint was received by the Director General of the Workplace Relations Commission by the Complainant on January 15th 2020 alleging that the Respondent contravened the provisions of Section 7 of the Act in relation to her. The said complaint was referred to me for investigation. A hearing for that purpose was held on February 11th 2021 . There was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant at the Hearing. I am satisfied that the said complainant was informed in writing of the date, time and method/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 |
