On March 4, 2025, Cambodia's Ministry of Labor and
Vocational Training (MLVT) issued Prakas No. 073/25 on Procedures
for Resolving Individual Labor Disputes, replacing Prakas No. 318
on the same topic from 2001 and introducing significant changes to
how individual labor disputes are filed, processed, and
escalated.
In addition, Prakas No. 073 outlines the roles and
responsibilities of labor inspectors, the process for filing and
handling complaints, and the steps for conciliation and further
legal recourse, as described below.
Filing a Complaint
Any party to an individual labor dispute can file a complaint
with the Labor Dispute Department of the MLVT or the Department of
Labor at the capital or provincial level. Upon receiving a
complaint, a labor inspector will review the case and may initiate
either conciliation or a labor inspection. Invitation letters will
be issued to the disputing parties to provide relevant information
and documents.
