Procedure:
In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 and/or Section 79 of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998 - 2015, following the referral of the complaint 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.
Background:
A complaint was received by the Director General of the Workplace Relations commission by Ms Doohan on 16th October 2024 alleging that her employer, Proampac Euroflex contravened the provisions of the Work life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2023 and the Employment Equality Act, 1998 in relation to her. The said complaints were referred to me for investigation. A hearing for that purpose was held on 29th July 2024. There was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant at the hearing. I am satisfied that the said complainant was informed in writing of the date, time and place at which the hearing to investigate the complaint would be held.
In these circumstances and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary having been adduced before me, I must conclude that the within complaint is not well-founded and I decide accordingly. |
