Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer:
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 and Section 13 of the Industrial Relations Acts 1969 following the referral of the dispute to me by the Director General, I inquired into the dispute and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the dispute.
The Complainant alleged she had an Industrial Relations issue regarding her treatment while in employment. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The Complainant worked from May 14th 2019 to July 13th 2019. The Complainant stated her IR complaint was that the Owner was disrespectful, contrary and did not supply her food as agreed. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The Complainant is not entitled to an apology and it is the Complainant who should apologise. The Complainant was not bullied. |
Findings and Conclusions:
Based on the evidence supplied I find the following;. That the issue under dispute in the Industrial Relations Act is not a Trade Dispute but an interpersonal one and I have no jurisdiction to issue an Industrial Relations Recommendation on that issue. |
Recommendation;
Section 13 of the Industrial Relations Acts, 1969 requires that I make a Recommendation in relation to the dispute. As I found that the Complainant by the Worker is not a Trade Dispute I find in favour of the Employer as the Complaint is not well founded. (CA-00033449-003). |
