Common confusion points

Confusing 'Notice' with 'Application': A Notice informs; an Application usually asks for something specific.

Thinking this covers all employment issues: It is specifically tied to Part-Time Work Act, 2001 rights (S.18).

Not detailing the relief sought: If you just say 'relief,' the court won't know what to grant.

Filing it at the wrong local courthouse/registry.
