Employment Tribunal Claims

From April 2013, individuals wanting to bring a tribunal claim will have to inform the conciliation body ACAS first.

Claims will no longer be made direct to the tribunal. If conciliation is unsuccessful, the individual can continue with a tribunal claim.

Finally, if employers lose a claim, tribunals will have the power to fine them, with a minimum of £100. This will be in addition to the award made to the claimant and the fee reimbursement.
