An employee may make a complaint at any time while employed and up to 6 months after employment is terminated.

The complaint must be made in the form and manner determined by the Director and must contain the required information.

The Director may refuse to accept or investigate a complaint if it is frivolous, vexatious, lacks sufficient evidence or if there are other means available to the employee to deal with the matter.

An officer may mediate between an employer and an employee for the purpose of settling or compromising differences between them.

If the officer determines that the employee is not entitled to earnings, the employee will be served with a notice of that decision, and the Director may deem the complaint to have been withdrawn if the employee refuses or fails to participate in an investigation.
