Complaint:
Act | Complaint Reference No. | Date of Receipt |
Complaint seeking adjudication by the Workplace Relations Commission under section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991 | CA-00077673-001 | 17/11/2025 |
Date of Adjudication Hearing: 23/04/2026
Workplace Relations Commission Adjudication Officer: Bríd Deering
Procedure:
In accordance with s. 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015, 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 and to present any evidence relevant to the complaint.
On 17 November 2025 the Complainant presented a complaint to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC). This complaint was scheduled for adjudication on 23 April 2026 at the hearing rooms of the WRC Office in Carlow. There was no appearance by or on behalf of the Complainant or the Respondent at the hearing. I verified that the Complainant and the Respondent had been served with notice of the time, date, and venue of the adjudication hearing. I waited some time to accommodate a late arrival. As there was no appearance by the Complainant or the Respondent, I closed the hearing. Neither the Complainant nor the Respondent contacted the WRC in advance of or in the days following the scheduled hearing to indicate any difficulty with attending the hearing.
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
The Complainant did not attend the scheduled hearing to give evidence in relation to the complaint. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
There was no appearance by or on behalf of the Respondent at the hearing. |
Findings and Conclusions:
I am satisfied the Complainant was properly notified of the hearing arrangements in accordance with the contact information provided. The Complainant did not contact the WRC to indicate any difficulty on their part in attending the hearing, or to explain their non-attendance. As the Complainant did not attend the adjudication hearing to set out how the Respondent contravened the Payment of Wages Act 1991, I find the complaint is not well founded. |
Decision:
Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 requires that I decide in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under Schedule 6 of that Act.
As the Complainant did not attend the adjudication hearing, I decide this complaint under the Payment of Wages Act 1991 is not well founded. |
