Employment Tribunal Representation

Employment Tribunals help employees who feel they have been unlawfully mistreated. Employees can take their employer to an employment tribunal in relation to discrimination, unfair dismissal, or any other unlawful contractual dispute. Our solicitors can assist you by providing professional employment tribunal representation.

When can I make a claim to the Employment Tribunal?

An employment tribunal is an independent judicial body with the authority to make judgements on any employment law disputes. Even though a tribunal will not be as formal as a court hearing, the outcome of the tribunal is still legally binding.

It is extremely important that you first seek specialist legal advice for the following reasons:

• The procedure leading up to the hearing can be complex.
• The application will need to be properly set out in detail the grounds of your complaint.
• There is a strict time limitation and you must have completed ACAS Early Conciliation before you can make the application to the Employment Tribunal 
• The most relevant aspect of your case may not receive enough consideration by the Tribunal if not correctly set out by a specialist employment law solicitor.

At the hearing you have 3 choices:

• Represent yourself. This costs nothing (other than the employment tribunal hearing fee).
• Have a solicitor or barrister represent you.
• Have a solicitor and a barrister present.

Compensation is the main remedy in most Employment Tribunal claims. However, the amount of compensation varies as compensation can be made up of several elements like Financial losses including loss of earnings, injury to feelings or even personal injury compensation. For instance, most injury to feelings awards made by Employment Tribunals are up to £6,000 (i.e. within the lowest band of the Vento scale) depending on the case. The maximum award for injury to feelings will usually be around £30,000 in the most serious cases.
