GUIDE TO THE LABOUR TRIBUNAL

The Labour Department has prepared in English and Chinese a simple

guide to the Labour Tribunal which starts operation on March 1, 1973 as part

of the Judiciary.

A spokesman of the Labour Department said: "This simple guide

explains to employers and employees what the Tribunal will do, the types

of claims it will hear, the types of claims it cannot hear, and how and where

claims can be made."

The guide, which also explains in simple terms the procedures to be

followed, can be obtained free of charge from any branch office of the Labour

Department and from City District Offices.
