Firstly, labor arbitration is free of any fees. You can mediate with your company again before arbitration. If mediation fails, you can directly apply to the labor arbitration organ for arbitration.
First, how should I apply for labor arbitration?
According to the relevant documents, the procedures for applying for labor arbitration are as follows:
First of all, the Labor Arbitration Committee will examine whether the complaint meets the admissibility conditions, and make a decision on whether to file a case or not within seven days. If it is not accepted, the Arbitration Commission shall issue a "Decision on Not Accepting", explaining the reasons for not accepting it. For those who decide to file a case, the Labor Arbitration Commission issues the Notice of Accepting the Case and the Notice of Opening the Court to the complainant, who needs to pay the arbitration fee in advance to the Labor Arbitration Commission within 5 days after accepting the case. The trial process of a case includes several procedures, such as investigation stage, debate stage, mediation stage and judgment stage. Labor dispute arbitration adopts the system of one arbitration and two trials, that is, if a party refuses to accept the arbitration award made by the Arbitration Commission, he may bring a lawsuit to the local grass-roots people's court within 15 days from the date of receiving the award, and if he refuses to accept the first-instance award made by the grass-roots people's court, he may appeal to the intermediate people's court of this Municipality within 15 days from the date of receiving the judgment.
