Date of Receipt

Complaint seeking adjudication by the Workplace Relations Commission under Section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Act, 1967

CA-00055924-001

04/04/2023

 

Date of Adjudication Hearing:  22/01/2024

Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer:  Orla Jones

Procedure:

In accordance with section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967-2014, 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 Complainant submitted a claim under Section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Act, 1967 on the 4th of April 2023.

 

A Hearing was held on the 22nd of January 2024. There was no appearance by or on behalf of the Complainant at the time the adjudication hearing was scheduled to commence.

 

I verified that the Complainant had been served with notice of the time, date, and venue of the adjudication hearing. I waited some time to accommodate a late arrival. There was no appearance by the Complainant.  The Complainant did not contact the WRC to indicate any difficulty with attending the hearing.

 

 

Summary of Complainant’s Case:

The complainant was not in attendance at the hearing.   The Complainant did not adduce evidence to support his complaint.

 

Summary of Respondent’s Case:

The respondent was in attendance at the hearing.

 

Findings and Conclusions:

On review of the correspondence on file I am satisfied that the Complainant was notified of the hearing date, time, and venue.

The complainant failed to attend the hearing to pursue his case.   In the circumstances I am satisfied that the complaint should fail and accordingly I declare this claim to be not well-founded.

Decision:

Section 39 of the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 – 2012 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under that Act.

As the Complainant did not attend at the hearing, I declare this claim to be not well founded.
