- If that fails, the case is referred to the labor court through an integrated electronic system within 21 days of the first session. The training of amicable resolution personnel was completed across the entire Kingdom. As a result, a significant increase in the percentage of cases resolved amicably, without involving the judiciary, was witnessed. The rate of reconciliation in this process reached 77%.
