Where complainants express desire to withdraw but there is no unequivocal waiver, negotiated settlement or prior payment of the disputed wages, the Director General retains jurisdiction under Sections 69 and 70 of the Employment Act to continue inquiry and to order payment; the Employment Act being social legislation must be interpreted liberally in favour of employees, and thus the Presiding Officer's Decision ordering unpaid wages was within jurisdiction and must be affirmed.
