It is becoming increasingly apparent that employees are even more aware of their rights and with no claim fee are still bringing a claim to the Tribunal Service even if there is little prospect of winning!
This is borne out by the first quarters’ statistics from The Tribunal Service.
Many small businesses still do not realise that a contract of employment is required by law, yet alone know the many rights of its employees. With a 51% increase in Tribunal Claims this could be costing more than just compensation. To many small businesses employees' rights have become a minefield and many employees are taking advantage of their employers ignorance. Make sure it is not you!
