Employment Tribunal
An Employment Tribunal is a legal body in the United Kingdom that resolves disputes between employers and employees. It handles cases related to unfair dismissal, discrimination, wage disputes, and other employment-related issues. The tribunal aims to provide a fair and accessible way for individuals to seek justice without needing a lawyer.
The process typically involves submitting a claim, followed by a hearing where both parties present their evidence. A panel, usually consisting of a judge and two lay members, makes a decision based on the facts presented. The outcome can include compensation or reinstatement for the employee if the claim is upheld.
