The WRC found a recruitment consultant’s pay and minimum notice complaints were out of time in a decision dated 10 November 2016. The merits were not decided. The complainant said he delayed filing while trying to resolve the dispute, while a parent was unwell and after engaging a legal representative. The respondent had sought an adjournment but did not attend the hearing. The WRC found the complaints were lodged about 11 months after the alleged contravention and that the circumstances did not justify extending the time limit.
