Employment Disputes and Tribunals

Experiencing an employment dispute can feel stressful and isolating. You may be worried about your future, your finances, or simply being heard. We’re here to guide you through every step with clarity and compassion.

If workplace issues cannot be resolved internally, they may proceed to an Employment Tribunal, which will make a legally binding decision based on employment law. These cases can be complex and emotionally draining, so taking early, informed action is essential to protect your rights and peace of mind. There are also strict time limits for bringing a claim.

What happens in the tribunal process?

Once you submit an ET1 claim form, the tribunal will send it to your employer who has 28 days to respond. The tribunal will then set a timetable and instructions for preparation, including:

• Exchanging all relevant documentation
• Preparing and exchanging witness statements
• Agreeing a list of the issues the tribunal needs to decide.

At the hearing, both sides present evidence, you and witnesses give evidence and answer questions, and the parties make their legal arguments. The tribunal then decides the outcome and any compensation due.
