Employment tribunals

The challenge for employers

"Employment tribunal cases present employers with risk, disruption and uncertainty:

• What will the outcome be?
• What will the case cost in legal fees and compensation?
• How much management time will be absorbed?

"The outcome of a case can bring with it unwanted bad publicity or set a precedent within the workplace. Yet employers cannot avoid some claims if they are to manage their businesses effectively."

Simon Tytherleigh, Partner
