Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Andrew Heavey

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:

The complaint was submitted to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) on 25th March 2025 and alleges that the respondent contravened the provisions of the National Minimum Wage Act, 2000 in relation to the complainant’s employment.

Summary of Complainant’s Case:

The complainant did not attend the adjudication hearing and was not represented.

Summary of Respondent’s Case:

The respondent did not attend the adjudication hearing and was not represented.

Findings and Conclusions:

The complaint was received by the Director General of the Workplace Relations commission on 25th March 2025 whereby the complainant alleged that his employer contravened the provisions of the National Minimum Wage Act, 2000 in relation to him. The complaint was assigned the complaint application number CA-00070256-001.

The said complaint was referred to me for investigation. A hearing for that purpose was arranged for 9th October 2025. I delayed the commencement of the adjudication hearing for approximately 30 minutes to facilitate the later arrival of the parties but neither side attended the adjudication hearing. There has been no further contact from either side since the adjudication hearing was due to take place.

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.

In all of the circumstances of the matter, I must conclude that the within complaint CA-00070256-001 is not well founded and I decide accordingly.
