While the Industrial Court deals with individual disputes arising from the employer-employee relationship (such as
dismissals) and trade disputes between trade unions and employers (such as transfers, collective agreements) and
breaches of rights and obligations imposed under the Industrial Relations Act 1967, the Labour Court deals mainly with
recovery of wages and other monies and employment benefits provided to employees under the Employment Act 1955
such as overtime pay, maternity allowance, salary in lieu of notice of termination and termination benefits. The “Labour
Court” is not a statutory tribunal like the Industrial Court but refers to the hearing conducted by a Labour Officer of the Labour Department into complaints by employees.
