If any foreigner feels that their rights have been violated, the foreigner may formally file a petition to the relevant authorities against the body, organization, or person at fault. One can file a complaint by sending an official letter in writing to a labor office or via email. It is also possible to file the complaint via telephone.

There must be supporting documents which accompany the complaint such as a letter of job offer or contract which was given at the time of hiring. Upon successful submission of the documents, the foreigner will receive an official notice from the labor department after investigations have been completed. In most instances, the labor office will contact the employer to inquire about your claims. If the employer agrees to the claim and chooses to make a settlement, the person who made the complaint will be required to withdraw the case against the employer. Otherwise, a lawsuit between the two will be heard in a labor court at a predetermined date. Both parties involved are to attend such a hearing.
