The Workplace Relations Commission declined jurisdiction over Erin Porter’s unpaid wages complaint against Café Depèche, finding it was filed outside the time limit. The decision, dated 10 May 2022, said the merits were not decided. Porter said she received no wages for work at the café from March to December 2020. She left the job on 11 December 2020, making 11 June 2021 the filing deadline, but submitted her complaint on 15 August. The adjudicator found no reasonable cause to extend the time limit, noting Porter had started another job in February 2021 and had no impediment to filing before the deadline.
