Overview for employers on the employment tribunal claims process, the tribunal hearing and settlement of claims
Employment tribunals deal with claims brought against employers by employees, typically relating to unfair and wrongful dismissals, discrimination, equal pay, and unlawful deductions from wages. Employees must contact Acas first to try to resolve the dispute through early conciliation if matters have not been resolved directly with the employer.
This factsheet examines the first steps in starting a claim and the employer‘s response. It looks at the types of hearing, preparation, procedures and outcomes.
