The Workplace Relations Commission found welder Gedas Barusevicius’s unfair dismissal complaint against Conaty Steel Limited was not well founded after he did not attend the hearing. The decision was dated 13 March 2023; the merits were not decided. Barusevicius said he believed he had been dismissed after his employment status changed on the Revenue website. The company said his employment had continued. His representative attended the hearing, but the adjudication officer said submissions could not replace sworn evidence from Barusevicius. The officer said he knew the hearing details and no adjournment had been requested, so the application failed.
