Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Maire Mulcahy

Procedure:

In accordance with Section 79 of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998 - 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 complaint.

The respondent attended the hearing.

The complainant did not attend the hearing.

Background:

The complainant submitted a complaint on 20/2/2020 that the respondent had contravened the provisions of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998-2015 in relation to him.

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:

A complaint was received by the Director General of the Workplace Relations commission from the complainant on 7/10/2020 alleging that the respondent had contravened the provisions of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998-2015 in relation to him. A hearing for that purpose was held on 07/02/2023. There was no appearance by the complainant at the hearing or explanation for his absence. I am satisfied that the said complainant was 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 complaint is not well-founded and I decide accordingly

Decision:

Section 79 of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998 – 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under section 82 of the Act.

I do not find this complaint to be well founded.
