The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) found Leon O’Connor’s religion discrimination complaint against Engage People Recruitment failed after he did not attend the hearing. The decision, dated 1 August 2023, concerned his allegation that the company discriminated against him when it rejected his application for a role. The merits were not decided. The company attended the hearing with two witnesses and a written submission. The adjudication officer said O’Connor had not made out a prima facie case, but he did not attend to give evidence. The formal decision said he was not discriminated against and the complaint failed.
