WRC dismisses Leon O’Connor’s religion discrimination complaint after missed hearing

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) found Leon O’Connor’s religion discrimination complaint against Engage People Recruitment failed after he did not attend the hearing. The decision, dated 1 August 2023, concerned his allegation that the company discriminated against him when it rejected his application for a role. The merits were not decided. The company attended the hearing with two witnesses and a written submission. The adjudication officer said O’Connor had not made out a prima facie case, but he did not attend to give evidence. The formal decision said he was not discriminated against and the complaint failed.
