No court fees
Labour cases are exempt from court fees under the Labour Court Act, and claims may be filed orally.
Labour inspector
Employees can file wage, overtime or severance complaints with a labour inspector, who can order payment; a dissatisfied party may take the matter to the Labour Court within the set period.
Severance pay
The Labour Protection Act sets severance by length of service plus advance notice, unless a Section 119 exception applies.
Unfair dismissal
Employees can claim damages for dismissal without reasonable cause, separate from statutory severance.
Foreign employees
When employment ends, the work permit and employer-linked visa may lapse; plan a visa change during the dispute.
