Employment Tribunal claims – why take the risk?

Mediator, Employment Law Solicitor, Dispute Resolution Adviser, HR Consultant

Employment tribunal claims are a nightmare for employers.

Even if you are confident that the claim is rubbish and you have done nothing wrong. It will cost you money to defend the claim and eat up your valuable time and resources.

Even if there is no merit in the claim it can still impact your reputation. This can result in lost business, and impact your recruitment.

Claims are a distraction for senior managers and can impact the morale of your team.

The costs of defending a claim can be significant – usually well in excess of £10,000.

The costs of ‘getting it right’, taking the time to follow procedures, educating managers to respond appropriately to employment issues – are so much less.

A little investment now can save you a fortune in costs, let alone the potential awards employees can receive.

Why not get it right in the first place and decide not to take this risk?
