Findings and Conclusions:
On the day of the hearing, I awaited the attendance of the parties for in excess of 20 minutes beyond the scheduled start time but there was no attendance by or on behalf of either party at the hearing. I allowed 7 days from the day of hearing for either party to make contact with the WRC post hearing to explain the absence, before finalising these decisions. No contact was made.
CA- 00073748-001 As the Complainant was not present to move her complaint and in the context that I am satisfied that the said Complainant was informed in writing of the arrangements for the hearing, in the absence of any explanation for her non-attendance, I must conclude that the within complaint is not well-founded.
CA- 00073748-002 As the Complainant was not present to move her complaint and in the context that I am satisfied that the said Complainant was informed in writing of the arrangements for the hearing, in the absence of any explanation for her non-attendance, I must conclude that the within complaint is not well-founded.
CA- 00073748-003 As the Complainant was not present to move her complaint and in the context that I am satisfied that the said Complainant was informed in writing of the arrangements for the hearing, in the absence of any explanation for her non-attendance, I must conclude that the within complaint is not well-founded.
CA- 00073748-004 As the Complainant was not present to move her complaint and in the context that I am satisfied that the said Complainant was informed in writing of the arrangements for the hearing, in the absence of any explanation for her non-attendance, I must conclude that the within complaint is not well-founded

Decision:
Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaints in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act.
