WESTERN AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COMMISSION. Industrial Relations Act 1979. Arthur Digby Bell and Corporate Media Group Pty Ltd. No. 462 of 1993. COMMISSIONER A.R. BEECH. 4 June 1993. Reasons for Decision. (Given extemporaneously at the conclusion of the proceedings, taken from the transcript as edited by the Commission.) THE COMMISSIONER: This is an application pursuant to s.29(b)(ii) of the Act for denied contractual entitlements. Throughout the history of this matter the respondent has neither entered an appearance nor entered any answer or counterproposal to die claim made. I note for the record that the Commission has endeavoured to contact the respondent by telephone in order to arrange conference proceedings, but telephone messages were not answered. There was no appearance by the respondent at the conference that was held in this matter, that conference being held on the 14th May 1993.1 also note from the record that no mail has been returned from the address of the respondent and the Commission did forward a Notice of Hearing to that address for this morning's proceedings. To turn to the facts of the matter, the applicant gave evidence under oath and I am satisfied that Mr Bell has made out the various elements of his claim. He was employed as a financial controller/accountant for the respondent and was in a particularly advantageous position to know the financial circumstances of the respondent. In relation to the two elements of his claim, turning firstly to the question of salary, I am satisfied from the evidence that Mr Bell worked for the two fortnights for which he has claimed payment and for which he has said under oath that he has not received any payment. Similarly I am satisfied that Mr Bell is entitled to the annual leave payment which he has claimed, it being for pro rata annual leave on the WESTERN AUSTRALIAN- INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COMMISSION.
