Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 following the referral of the complaints to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaints and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaints.
Background:
The Complainant submitted two complaints of penalisation for adjudication under section 14 of the Protection of Employment (Fixed-Term) Act 2003 and under section 28 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, respectively. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The Complainant did not attend the hearing. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The Respondent attended the hearing. |
Findings and Conclusions:
I am reasonably satisfied that the Complainant was notified of the date, time, and venue of the hearing. However, the Complainant did not attend the hearing. Therefore, I find that the complaints were not well founded due to a lack of evidence. |
Decision:
Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaints in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act.
CA-00054002-003: Due to the non-attendanceof the Complainant at the hearing, I find that the complaint was not well founded due to a lack of evidence. CA-00054002-004: Due to the non-attendanceof the Complainant at the hearing, I find that the complaint was not well founded due to a lack of evidence. |
