Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Pat Brady

Procedure:

In accordance with Section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 - 2014following 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.

Summary of Complainant’s Case:

The complainant did not attend the hearing.

Summary of Respondent’s Case:

The respondent did not attend the hearing.

(Correspondence had been received by the WRC from an accountant who had formerly acted for the respondent stating that the business had ceased trading in 2019).

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 indicated this on the complaint form. She 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 complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act.

For the reasons set out above Complaint CA-00039034-001 is not well-founded.
