An Introduction to the Employment Tribunal Process

Introduction

During this webinar, expert speaker Kathy Daniels will explore the following:

• The Early Conciliation Service
• How to prepare for an Employment Tribunal hearing
• The procedure at the Employment Tribunal
• The different processes for settling a claim that is brought to the Tribunal

This introductory level webinar is aimed at those who have little or no experience of the Employment Tribunal process. It will also be useful for those who have occasional contact with the Employment Tribunal process, and need to be aware of recent changes to the ACAS Early Conciliation and their practical effects.

Deliberately targeted at those who are required to give advice to those engaged in the Employment Tribunal process, this webinar will be relevant to both those advising employers and claimants.
