For  items (1), (3), (4), and (5) of No. 2, Article 26, in the Rules for Handling Arbitration Cases on Labor and Personnel Disputes(Order No.33  of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security), the limitation of action for Arbitration of Labor and Personnel Disputes is one year. This limitation period is calculated from the date when the involved parties first knew or should have known of the infringement of their rights. 

By these same rules, for disputes regarding Article 2, item (2), within the limitation of action, relevant provisions of Civil Service Law shall apply.

When the labor and personnel relationship is in dispute due to wage arrears,  the application for arbitration is not subject to the time limit specified above; however, the termination of labor and personnel relations should be submitted within one year of the date of  termination.
