Mandatory mediation
In cases specified by law, applying to a mediator before filing a lawsuit is mandatory; it is a precondition for the case. If no agreement is reached in mediation, a lawsuit may be filed with the labour court.
General procedure
- Reviewing the employment contract, payslips, bank records and termination documents
- Applying to the mediation office
- Filing a lawsuit with the labour court if no agreement is reached
- Proceedings with witnesses, expert reports and documents
Points to consider: The time limit for applying to a mediator for reinstatement after termination is very short. Limitation periods apply to monetary claims. Missing these deadlines may result in loss of rights.
