Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Serghei Balanuta’s complaints against Rigotec International Limited not well-founded after he missed the hearing. The decision, dated 28 May 2026, concerned alleged unpaid wages, unfair dismissal and discriminatory dismissal. Balanuta’s representative attended but said he had no instructions from his client and had received no communication from him. The adjudicator was satisfied Balanuta had notice of the hearing and said the claims could not be decided in his absence without direct evidence from him. No monetary award was recorded.
