Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 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.
Background:
This matter was heard by way of remote hearing pursuant to the Civil Law and Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2020 and S.I. No. 359/2020 which designates the WRC as a body empowered to hold remote hearings. The complainant did not attend the hearing of this matter. Three witnesses for the respondent attended the hearing. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The complainant did not attend the hearing. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
Three witnesses for the respondent attended the hearing. |
Findings and Conclusions:
The complainant did not attend the hearing of this matter. I am satisfied that he was on notice of the hearing but provided no reason for his non-attendance. As the complainant did not attend the hearing and provided no evidence or explanation for his non-attendance, I find that he has not established that the Act was contravened. |
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.
Having regard to the circumstances of this case, my decision is that the Act was not contravened. |
