Whether it is Singapore or any other part of the globe there are bound to be employment-related disputes. There can be many reasons for these types of disputes. Those who are involved in the disputes will naturally want justice.
Different types of employment-related disputes:
Before we check how to resolve these types of disputes we need to find out the different types of disputes related to employment. There can be disputes between the employer and employee due to salary issues. Termination of an employee can also be a reason for the dispute. There can also be issues related to transfer of the employee, disciplinary actions taken by the employer, health and safety of the employees etc. There can be many other labour law issues.
This is how disputes related to employment can be resolved:
First of all the employer and the employee must try to discuss the matter and they must try to see if they can reach to a mutual agreement. They must try to resolve the matter on their own. But at times this may not be possible and in such cases, the only option that one has is to take the legal option.
One can appoint a lawyer and go to the court in order to get justice. This can be a long process and will take time. This can also be an expensive way of resolving the dispute. The party that loses the case can appeal in the higher court. This can increase the cost and it will also be a time-consuming thing. If you want to win the case then it is equally important that you have proper evidence in hand.
Another way of managing employment-related disputes is by going to TADM that is Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management. This was formed by Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF). One can approach them for advice as well as for mediation.
If you want to be on the winning side then one of the most important things that you need to do is find the best lawyer. This can be a tough thing. How can you be sure that the lawyer you have approached is the best? Also, it is important to ensure that you choose a lawyer who has proven expertise in settlement of employment-related issues.
One of the best ways to find a lawyer is by approaching Essex Court Chambers Duxton. This group has lawyers who have proved that they have expertise in different legal areas.
Disputes, difference of opinion etc are common things in workplace. At times the dispute can blow out of proportions. In such cases, the only way to resolve the issue is by taking legal advice. But if you want to get the best assistance then you have to make sure that you choose the right lawyer who will provide the best assistance. Always choose a lawyer who has years of experience in employment dispute settlement.
