Prosecutions for employment offences, including an employer paying less than the minimum remuneration fixed by Remuneration Regulations.
Why go here first
The Employment Relations Tribunal is expressly barred from a dispute within this Court's exclusive jurisdiction, so the two are alternatives, not steps.
The provision
Any prosecution for an offence under subsection (2) shall take place before the Industrial Court which shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any charge laid under that subsection.
Also in the Act
outcome (section 94(5))

how (section 94(6))
Notwithstanding subsection (5), the Industrial Court shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any civil claim arising out of any Remuneration Regulations.
