Employment Tribunal Representation

During an employment relationship between and employer and employee disputes may occasionally occur and escalate to an Employment Tribunal. These tribunals are judicial bodies responsible for resolving legal disputes related to employment matters, and understanding their significance is paramount for employers.

What exactly is an Employment Tribunal?

An Employment Tribunal is a quasi-judicial forum designed to provide a fair and impartial resolution for employment-related disputes that have failed to be settled through other means, such as negotiations or mediation. These disputes can encompass a wide range of issues, including but not limited to:

  • Unfair dismissal: Claims made by employees who believe they were dismissed unfairly or without proper cause.
  • Discrimination claims: Accusations of bias made on the basis of “protected characteristics” such as age, gender, race, religion, or disability.
  • Wage and payment disputes: Cases involving unpaid wages, overtime, or other contractual payment issues.
  • Breach of contract: Disputes arising from alleged breaches of employment contracts or terms.
  • Redundancy: These issues include a fair process and redundancy pay.

Why Do Employers Need Representation?

Employers, just like employees, have rights, obligations, and responsibilities. When facing Employment Tribunal proceedings, employers should seek professional representation to safeguard their interests. Legal experts understand the nuances of employment law and can ensure that employers have a strong defense.

Representation protects employers’ rights and interests, helps with evidence gathering and presentation, and offers skilled negotiation to reach potential settlements. Legal professionals can also guide employers through procedural steps, reducing the risk of errors.
