Employees can submit a formal complaint through this platform - Labour Administration Management Information System (LAMIS). The Complainant should endeavour to submit detailed information and any supporting documentation.
The Labour Administration Management Information System is an online web application system of the Labour Administration Department of the Ministry of Gender Labour and Social Development (MGLSD). The LAMIS has been adopted by the department to digitize the labour administration process, such as: -
• Labour Case reporting and management
• Employer Labour Returns submission
• Employer Collective Termination
• Transfer and Mergers
• Labour Union Application and Registration.
Employees should report injuries immediately to their employer and submit a claim form to the Labour Department along with medical reports and other supporting documents.

The union must have at least 10 members, a clear constitution, and comply with the Labour Union Act.
Typically, unions are required to submit membership returns semi-annually or annually.
Employers are required to notify the Labour Department at least 30 days before the collective termination through a formal written notice, including reasons and the number of employees affected.
A labour union must submit an application to the Labour Department, including the union’s constitution, list of members, and details of management. The department reviews and registers the union if it meets legal requirements.
