Complaint seeking adjudication by the Workplace Relations Commission under section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991 | CA-00052896-001 | 20/09/2022 |
Date of Adjudication Hearing: 06/06/2023
Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: John Harraghy
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015following 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 complaint.
Background:
The complainant was employed as a security officer with the respondent from 22/07/2019 until 11/08/2022. The complainant submitted a complaint to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) on 20/09/2022 seeking adjudication under Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991. A hearing was scheduled for 06/06/2023. There was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant. The respondent was present and prepared to defend its position in relation to this complaint. I allowed a period of time to elapse before bringing the hearing to a close and there was no further communication received from or on behalf of the complainant. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The complainant did not attend the hearing. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The respondent attended the hearing and was prepared to defend its position in relation to the complaint. |
Findings and Conclusions:
As there was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant at the hearing to pursue the complaints and/or give evidence in relation to this complaint I conclude that this complaint is not well founded. |
Decision:
Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act.
I am satisfied that the complainant was properly notified of the hearing arrangements. I find that his non-attendance at time of the hearing, without any notification, to pursue this complaint to be unreasonable. In the absence of any evidence proffered by or on behalf of the complainant seeking adjudication by the Workplace Relations Commission under Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991. I find this complaint is not well-founded. |
