Disputes and conflicts occur in all human relationships and consequently, workplace disputes are inevitable. The simplest, least expensive and, in fact, one of the most effective possible responses to the emerging conflict at work is to conduct mediation. Unlike judicial proceedings, mediation does not have a rigid procedural framework, it is more flexible and less formalized. The aim of this thesis is to show mediation as an alternative method of resolving individual disputes in the field of labour law, which should be successfully used to resolve disputes in the field of labour law. Unfortunately, mediation is often underestimated by both employees and employers, who usually take legal recourse as a method of resolving a dispute.
