How do employment tribunals work?

Employment tribunals are independent judicial bodies that resolve disputes between employers and employees when employment rights have been violated. The most common employment tribunal claims are for the following:

  • Breach of Contract
  • Discrimination
  • Unlawful Deductions from Wages
  • Redundancy Payments

If your business has an employment tribunal claim against you by an employee for any of the above reasons or anything else, please don’t hesitate to contact our team for FREE employment tribunal legal advice. Avensure are experts at providing the best possible tribunal representation for employers in the UK, and we always try our best to guarantee a satisfactory outcome.

How do employment tribunal decisions work?

Unanimous employment tribunal decisions are typically announced at the end of a hearing, and a majority vote can also decide them. Once the employment tribunal hearing has finished, either an announcement will be made or remain under reservation until written in its final form and eventually published on the government Employment Tribunal Decision website.

If the employer disagrees with the verdict or decision made at the employment tribunal hearing, you can always appeal with the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT). This appeal needs lodging with 42 days of the employment tribunal hearing.

If you have any further questions relating to the inner workings of employment tribunal hearings and how decisions are made. Or perhaps you have questions regarding your own upcoming employment tribunal hearing? Our team of highly qualified and knowledgeable employment tribunal lawyers would be happy to provide some free employment tribunal advice so get in touch today and let us help your business overcome this moment together.

What are the potential employment tribunal costs for an employer?

In addition to any award won by claimants during the employment tribunal, employers who breach employee rights and have ‘one or more aggravating features’ may be subject to further financial penalties enforced from employment tribunals. If you are charged with a penalty, the minimum cost will be £100, and the maximum is £20,000. The sum of this fee depends on how much compensation your employees are awarded (so if the employee won less money in damages, then the fine will be lower). 

You also get 50% off if you pay within 21 days after receiving notice from the tribunal decision. As you can see, the employment tribunal costs for employers can be substantial if the decision goes against you, which is why your business needs to receive the best possible employment tribunal representation.

If you currently have an upcoming tribunal with an employee causing sleepless nights, employers’ Avensure employment tribunal service is here to help!
