A judge might refuse to hear a job-related dispute about how much a company is paying its workers if the dispute is not within the court's jurisdiction. The judge may determine that the issue falls under the jurisdiction of a different regulatory body, such as a labor department or arbitration tribunal. Additionally, the judge may determine that the dispute does not involve any legal wrongdoing or violation of labor laws, and therefore does not warrant court intervention. Finally, the judge may determine that the dispute is better suited for resolution through mediation or arbitration rather than through litigation in court.
