Industrial Relations Act, 1990

Enforcement of registered employment agreement by inspector by civil proceedings.

54.—(1) An inspector may, if it appears to him that a sum is due from an employer to a worker to whom a registered employment agreement applies or that the employer has failed to comply with a condition of any such agreement with respect to the worker, institute on behalf of that worker civil proceedings for the recovery of that sum or the enforcement of that condition and in any such proceedings an order may be made for the payment of costs by the inspector but not by the worker.
