Procedure:

In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 ; Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991 and Section 27 of the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997 following the referral of the complaint(s)/dispute(s) to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint(s)/dispute(s) and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint(s)/dispute(s).

 

Background:

This case had originally been scheduled for the 26th   June 2017 but due to the non attendance of one of the parties on that day had   been rescheduled for the 5th September 2017. On that latter date   none of the parties attended. As   correspondence had passed between the WRC and the parties I was satisfied that   proper notice of the hearing on the 5th September had been made.

Apart from the details on the claim form no evidence was   presented for either complaint. CA-00009811-001    and CA-00009811-002

The Respondent did not attend the hearing.

 

3:        Findings and Conclusions:

In the complete absence of any evidence being presented or   the parties attending the Hearing the claim is dismissed for want of prosecution.
