Date of Hearing: 15/12/2025
Procedure:
In accordance with Section 13 of the Industrial Relations Act 1969 (as amended) following the referral of the dispute(s) to me by the Director General, I inquired into the dispute(s) and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any information relevant to the dispute(s).
Background:
The worker’s employment commenced on She claims that she was dismissed for the following reason: I firmly believe I was unfairly and prematurely dismissed for simply exercising my right to ask reasonable questions about the terms of my employment — terms which had already been misrepresented during recruitment. This was not a good-faith decision based on performance, but a reaction to me asserting my rights as an employee. |
Summary of Workers Case:
No show |
Summary of Employer’s Case:
The Respondent was in attendance and rebutted the allegations being made against them |
Conclusions:
In conducting my investigation, I have taken into account all relevant submissions presented to me by the parties.
As the worker failed to attend I must find that her dispute with her employer has no merit and make no recommendation. |
Recommendation:
Section 13 of the Industrial Relations Act 1969 requires that I make a recommendation in relation to the dispute.
The worker failed to attend and therefore I find that the worker’s dispute has no merit
