- Al-Eqtisadiah newspaper reported that the issues that the courts decided on included claims for late salaries and requests for allowances, as well as claims for compensation and bonuses and requests for an experience certificate. There were also disagreements about the employer punishing the worker or asking to be excused from punishments.
- The Labor Court rules set specific times for accepting lawsuits that claim workers rights. These times apply to lawsuits about the Labor Law or domestic workers, as well as lawsuits about other workers. Disputes must be settled peacefully before they can be brought to court. This is on top of the complaints that have already been made against the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) about registration, subscription, and payment.
- According to the Labor Law, there are 21 days for workers to try to reach an agreement without going to court before they can file a case. If the steps for a peaceful settlement aren't finished by then, the disagreement will be sent electronically to the labor courts through the Ministry of Labor and Social Development's portal.
