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.

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 by the complainant alleging breaches of the above statutes and was referred to me for investigation.

There was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant at the hearing.

I am satisfied that the complainant consented to receiving correspondence by email and was sent notice in writing to the address provided on the complaint form 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 complaint is not well-founded and I decide accordingly.

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.

For the reasons set out above complaints CA-00053070-001 and 002 are not well-founded.
