Act | Complaint/Dispute Reference No. | Date of Receipt |
Complaint seeking adjudication by the Workplace Relations Commission under section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991 | CA-00049047-001 | 07/03/2022 |
Date of Adjudication Hearing: 05/10/2022
Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Paul McKeon
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 following the referral of the complaint to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complain.
Background:
The complainant submitted a complaint to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) on 07/03/2022 alleging a breach of the above statute. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The complainant did not attend the hearing. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The respondent did not attend the hearing. |
Findings and Conclusions:
A complaint was received by the Director General of the Workplace Relations Commission from the complainant on 07/03/2022 alleging a breach of the above statute. A hearing for that purpose was held on 05/10/2022. There was no appearance by the complainant at the hearing. I am satisfied that the said complainant was informed in writing and by way of email of the date, time, and place at which the hearing to investigate the complaint would be held. There is an onus on any party to a complaint, (but in particular a complainant) to attend for a hearing of which they have been given proper notice. No communications have been received from the complainant in the interim indicating any difficulty attending at the hearing, seeking a postponement or withdrawing this claim. In these circumstances and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary having been adduced before me, I must conclude that the claim is not well-founded. |
Decision:
Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 and Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions of the cited Acts.
CA-00049047-001.Complaint under section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991 I find this complaint to be notwell founded. |
