A complaint was received by the Director General of the Workplace Relations Commission on 5th February 2022 alleging that his former employer Cult Barbers contravened the provisions of the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997 and the Terms of Employment (Information) Act 1994 in relation to him. The said complaints were referred to me for investigation. A hearing for that purpose was held on 13th September 2022. There was no appearance by or on behalf of the Complainant or the Respondent at the hearing. I am satisfied that the parties were informed in writing 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 complaints are not well-founded and I decide accordingly. |
