Employment Tribunals
 

Here's some good news I missed - the Government is looking to charge a fee for bringing a tribunal case - which should leave just the good cases

so what is good about it
so if you have a good case against an employer for unfair dismissal.
and you not got the £500 what do you do .
put your tail between your legs and walk away.

I think if you win the employer is meant to end up paying the fee

Re: Employment Tribunals
 

yes!
but they want you to pay upfront that is what the Government is looking to change.

I guess you could always get a no-win/no-fee company to stump it up

Re: Employment Tribunals
 

me an 90 ex-workmates are taking a previous employer to court, and its going to cost us SFA, if we had to pay we wouldn't have taken it further.

What this will mean is that companies will get away with getting rid of people easier.

Re: Employment Tribunals
 

that may be happen .
so the employer will have find more money to pay their share

I have never seen a no-win-no-fee firm enter into an employment tribunal case.

very too pro business policy, even the old policy was too weak for workers, effectively a short term worker could be dumped out the door too easily, now they will need 2 years. I dont see why someone who has worked for 2 years should have more rights than someone who has worked 1 day.
