WRC finds Raymond Melder's working-hours complaint against Synergy Security Solutions not well-founded

The Workplace Relations Commission found Raymond Melder's complaint against Synergy Security Solutions not well-founded. He said the company failed to restore his contracted minimum of 19 hours a week quickly enough after he sought to return from an unauthorised absence, and that the offered site was unsuitable. Synergy said he had not secured approval for the extended absence, refused the assigned site, and returned to a suitable site once one was available. The adjudicator said the company tried to facilitate his return and found no basis for a breach of section 18 of the Organisation of Working Time Act.
