• You must have followed the workplace grievance procedure if available at your workplace.
  • You must have filed your grievance at the Industrial Relations Section with the Ministry of Employment, and Social Affairs and the matter will go through mediation.
  • If an agreement is not reached between the two parties, i.e., employer and worker, a certificate will be issued by the Employment Officer who presided over the mediation process to certify that that mediation has failed.
  • It is only after receiving this certificate that you can file your case at the Employment Tribunal. It should be noted that you can only file a case for the grievance which failed at mediation.
  • You can collect a copy of the form on which to file your case from the Employment Tribunal Office.
  • You will have to pay a registration fee of SR200 to lodge a case with the Employment Tribunal. You have 30 days after mediation have failed to register your case at the Employment Tribunal.
