Employment Practices Liability
Claims against employers by employees are very prevalent. Any employer needs to be able to prove that they have acted within the law.
It is very common for employees to seek compensation at an Employment Tribunal. Such
claims can be very expensive to defend and carry the risk of a significant award – particularly if discrimination (of certain ‘protected characteristics') against the employee can be established – i.e age, sexual orientation, religious belief)
Claims Examples:
Unfair dismissal claims
Allegations of non-compliance with legislation in respect of maternity/paternity/disability situations
Allegations of bullying, harassment or discrimination
