FAQ
How can I know if my employment dispute is considered a small claim?
The appropriate court for an employment dispute depends on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances. In some cases, employment disputes may be heard in small claims court if the amount of money at stake is within the jurisdictional limit of that court. Small claims courts typically handle cases involving relatively small amounts of money, and they often have simplified procedures.
On the other hand, if the dispute involves larger sums of money or complex legal issues, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit in a higher court, such as a civil court or a specialized employment tribunal. These courts generally have more formal procedures and may require legal representation.
What evidence do I need?
The evidence you need will depend on the circumstances of the case and the terms of the employment agreement, if any.
Here are some types of evidence that may be helpful in a loan dispute case:
1. Written communication: Any written communication, such as emails, text messages, or letters, that document the employment agreement
2. Bank statements: In cases of missing payments, Bank statements that show the transactions or lack of payments can help to establish the amount owed.
3. Witnesses: Witnesses who can testify to the harassment or discriminations if any
Is it worth it for me to sue?
It depends on the specific circumstances of your case, but suing your employer can be worth it if you have a solid legal claim and the potential compensation outweighs the cost of fees and other expenses. if you decide to go take the case to small claims court, you’ll have to pay related fees, such as court fees, and serving and handling fees.
