Industrial dispute proceedings commence at conciliation's first meeting and end on settlement, failure, referral, or enforceable award.

Section 60 sets timing rules: conciliation proceedings commence at the conciliation officer's first meeting after receipt of strike or lock out notice and conclude when a settlement memorandum is signed, failure is recorded, or the dispute is referred to a National Industrial Tribunal. Proceedings before an arbitrator, Tribunal or National Industrial Tribunal commence on filing or on referral for adjudication and conclude when the award becomes enforceable.
