Employment Tribunals Rise by 43%

May 11, 2009

These alarming figures mean that just less than half of your workforce could take you to a tribunal. In this situation it’s best not to panic.

1. If the employee is still with you, accept the paperwork (ET1) but do not undertake a conversation about the details. Let the employee know that you will read it and come back to them.
2. Seek professional advice – Contact Agility EL team on 01527 571611
3. Check the response dates on the ET1
4. Pull together all relevant paperwork including emails

The process for this situation is exact, recent ACAS changes will mean that you have to be up to date with the process. If in doubt at all call the team at Agility where you can talk to our Employment Law team.
