Ministry of Labour: conciliation by the supervising officer
A labour dispute between a worker and an employer, before it is reported to the President of the Commission for Conciliation and Mediation.
Why go here first
It is free, it does not require a lawyer, and the statute makes it available for a dispute that has not yet been reported. A written agreement reached there is registered and has the effect of a collective agreement.
The provision
Notwithstanding this Act, the supervising officer may provide a conciliation service with a view to conciliating the parties to a dispute not yet reported to the President of the Commission.
Also in the Act
outcome (section 68(2))
Where the dispute is resolved by an agreement under subsection (1), the agreement shall— (a) be recorded in writing; (b) be signed by the parties; (c) be registered with the supervising officer and the Tribunal; and (d) have the effect of a collective agreement as specified in sections 55 and 56.
Time limit
Section 68 fixes no period. The time limits for an employment claim are in the Workers' Rights Act 2019, which juris holds only as first enacted and does not quote here. Ask juris directly for them.
