The settlement rate for all mediation services completed in 2011 was 80%. If no agreement can be reached, the matter is referred to the district court. Pre-trial mediation is on voluntary basis, but the court may direct the parties to mediation by order. The employee/complainant has the burden of proof except for the cases of discrimination. The ratio of settlement by mediation is about 0.1% of the entire labour cases in 2011. There is a pilot project in selected courts whereby the court will suggest mediation as an alternative to using the court.
