Although many workers are uncomfortable or fearful of seeking redress in court, court practice shows that the majority of claims are awarded in favour of the worker. If you are a victim of an employer’s unlawful actions, you may be able to contact an employment law attorney to file a lawsuit against an unfair employer.

Claims against an employer are subject to the jurisdiction of the district court of your domicile. Depending on the type of misconduct, the claims against the employer vary, as do the corresponding fees. However, if the court rules in favour of the worker, the employer must also pay the worker’s costs.

Examples of a lawsuit against an employer:

● unpaid wages – non-payment or underpayment of wages is grounds for a lawsuit against an employer. In this case, statutory interest may also be claimed until final payment;
● Accident at work – if an accident occurs during the work process, during working hours, and on the way to work or on the way home from work, resulting in injury, the employee may file an accident at work lawsuit;
● Unlawful dismissal – when the court finds that the dismissal is unlawful, it is reversed and the worker is reinstated;
● a claim for compensation for non-admission to work – in this case you are also entitled to compensation.

NB: In the event of unlawful dismissal, the employee is entitled to compensation in the amount of the gross salary for the period during which he was unemployed because of the dismissal, but for no more than 6 months. If the worker worked in a lower-paid job during that period, he or she is entitled to the wage difference.

Decisions of the court of first instance are subject to appeal to the higher court. No state fee is payable for cases involving an employment dispute.
