Gintare Buineviciute’s bonus complaint against Tifco Hotel Group fails after she misses hearing

The Workplace Relations Commission found Gintare Buineviciute’s complaint against Tifco Hotel Group not well founded after she did not attend the hearing, despite being notified. The decision was dated 16 May 2023. Buineviciute said she had not received a bonus she believed was due. Tifco Hotel Group said the bonus was not payable because she had left before it fell due at the end of her contract. With no evidence presented by the complainant, the WRC found the complaint under the Payment of Wages Act 1991 not well founded; the merits were not decided.
