This is what we have in Germany. It's called "Arbeitsgericht" ("labor court" basically) and as an employee you can go there and sue your employer.
For employees this is free in the first instance and you will have a neutral judge to rule about the situation. I think you don't even need a lawyer as an employee but just "file a case" with the court, but I'm not totally sure about that.
Anyway, it's a very important part of the system in Germany, those courts keep a lot of cases with work-related topics away from the "normal" courts while still providing a neutral platform for both parties.
