Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Pat Brady

Procedure:

In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015following 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 which was held online. No explanation was received from his failure to do so.

Summary of Respondent’s Case:

The respondent attended the hearing.

He confirmed that the complainant had been in touch with him regarding the hearing about a week earlier.

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, nor any explanation as to why he did not do so.

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. From the evidence of the respondent it is also clear the complainant was fully aware of the date and time of the hearing.

In these circumstances and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary having been adduced before me, I must conclude that the within complaints are 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.

For the reasons set out above complaints CA-00073275-001 and 002 are not well founded.
