Q: What is the statute of limitation for applying for arbitration in a labor dispute?

A: According to Article 27 of the Labor Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Law, the statute of limitation for application for arbitration of a labor dispute is one year, which shall be calculated from the date a party comes to know of or is expected to know of the infringement of his/her rights. Where, during the existence of labor relation, a dispute arises over the default in payment of labor remuneration, application for arbitration by the employee concerned shall not be restricted by the limitation period for arbitration prescribed in the first paragraph of this Article. However, where the labor relation is terminated, such application for arbitration shall be submitted within one year from the date the labor relation is terminated.
