Federal Arbitration Tribunal for Occupational Injury Compensation

The Lindröse mansion in the government complex of Östvallen, Östervallen, is the seat of the Federal Arbitration Tribunal for Occupational Injury Compensation. The building is shared with the People's House of Vittmark.

The Federal Arbitration Tribunal for Occupational Injury Compensation (or Förbundets Skiljenämnd för Yrkesskadeersättning FSnYse in Wortsproke) is a dispute resolution body on the federal level of Vittmark. The body solves disputes by a legally binding verdict on the issue of compensation eligibility and amount in case of occupational injuries or death instead of a stift or national judicial court. The procedure can be started by the stim representing the injured or deceased and taking care of that individual and the part providing the insurance or payment. This could be the union or the employer, depending on the type of employment between the individual, stim and employer. Arbitration on the federal level is only possible after a proposal for compensation has been decided upon at the state level.

The Tribunal was founded in 7574 in order to deal with employment issues between state levels. This because of the inclusion of Fjällsta Stift as a member state, while most members were employed with or outsourced to employers based in territorial member states or federal institutions. From that moment on, cases of insurance for occupational hazards could no longer be dealt with within the stim, stift or state, as was commonplace in Mellanhand Orkanan nations up until then. In order to avoid a privileged situation of Fjällsta Stift employees above other, the Tribunal also got a function for federal government functions and state crossing employment.

The Tribunal's original function, providing independant arbitration between sitifts and states when it came to employment rights and especially occupational injuries, has remained largely the same. With an upscaling in the economy, creating more large companies where stims were employed as a whole, or individuals were outsourced to these large companies, these employment rights became an ever more important issue in the early 7600's. During the First Coalition War, the Tribunal's function also started including voluntary conscripts and their stim's relation to the federal military.

Contrary to verdicts in a court of law, arbitration results are not being made public and can not be appealed. The Tribunal is financed by state and federal governments, bus does not fall under any federal government department. Instead, the Tribunal is organised as a non-profit foundation with a public task, thus guaranteeing the independence towards its financers.
