Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer:

Procedure:

In accordance with Section 13 of the Industrial Relations Acts 1969following the referral of the disputes to me by the Director General, I inquired into the disputes and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the disputes.

Summary of Complainant’s Case:

The complainant did not attend the hearing. No explanation was received for his failure to do so.

Summary of Respondent’s Case:

The respondent was represented at the hearing.

Findings and Conclusions:

A complaint was received by the Director General of the Workplace Relations Commission by the complainant alleging breaches of the above statute.

The said complaint was referred to me for investigation.

There was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant at the hearing.

The WRC complaint form now contains a section where the following appears;

By providing an email address you are consenting to the Workplace Relations Commission communicating with you by electronic means (eMail) including the serving or giving notice(s)/documents(s)

I am satisfied that the said complainant was sent notice by email to the email address provided on the complaint form 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.

Recommendation:

Section 13 of the Industrial Relations Acts, 1969 requires that I make a recommendation in relation to the dispute.

For the reasons set out above complaints CA-00041515-002 and 012 are dismissed.
