Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 following the referral of the complaint(s) to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint(s) and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint(s).
Background:
The complainant was employed by the respondent from 8th September 2020 until 28th May 2021. This complaint was received by the Workplace Relations Commission on 13th November 2021. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The complainant contends that she was not paid her wages for the months of April and May 2021 and also payment in lieu of notice at termination of her employment. In total the complainant contends that she is owed €5,103.52. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The Respondent did not attend the hearing of the complaint. Notifications containing the date, time and venue for the hearing of the complaint were sent to the respondent on 31st May 2022. |
Findings and Conclusions:
CA – 00047173 – 001. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary and also the content of the letter from the Respondent to the Workplace Relations Commission dated 22nd November 2021 the Respondent accepts that there are outstanding wages due to the Complainant. The Complainant has calculated the outstanding amount of €4,647.85 CA – 00047173 – 002. The Complainant contends that the Respondent failed to pay her wages in lieu of notice of the termination of her employment. The amount calculated by the Complainant is €455.67.
I now find that the complaints are well founded and order the Respondent to pay the Complainant the sum of €5,103.52. This payment should be made within 42 days from the date of this decision.

Decision:
Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint(s) in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act.
