Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found David Sweeney’s complaints not well founded after he did not attend the hearing; the merits were not decided. The decision, dated 11 October 2023, covered 22 complaints, including an appeal concerning redundancy pay. Sweeney, a bricklayer, brought complaints against Mark Headd Construction. The company attended and said the complaint forms did not give details that would allow it to respond. The adjudication officer found in the company’s favour because Sweeney did not attend or provide evidence. The officer declared 21 complaints not well founded, found Sweeney was not unfairly dismissed, and disallowed his redundancy-payment appeal.
