Certificate of outcome
A document issued after conciliation showing whether a labour dispute was resolved or remained unresolved, often affecting the next step.
Definition
A certificate of outcome can affect whether the dispute moves to arbitration, Labour Court, settlement enforcement, or another route. The practical review should check the dispute type, referral date, conciliation date, result recorded, next-step deadline, forum, parties, case number, and whether the certificate matches the dispute that was referred.
