The Employment Claims Tribunal can hear salary-related and wrongful dismissal claims up to S$20,000, or up to S$30,000 if you went through mediation assisted by TADM or a recognised union. If your claim exceeds this limit, you must either abandon the excess amount to have your case heard at the tribunal, or pursue the full amount through the civil courts instead. Filing early helps avoid your unpaid salary accumulating past the claim limit.
