Employment tribunals are legal bodies that resolve disputes between employers and employees regarding workplace issues. These issues can include unfair dismissal, discrimination, and wage disputes. The tribunal process is designed to be accessible, allowing individuals to present their cases without needing a lawyer. The tribunal consists of a panel, usually made up of a judge and two lay members with experience in employment matters. Decisions made by employment tribunals can lead to remedies such as compensation or reinstatement. If a party disagrees with the tribunal's decision, they may appeal to a higher court under certain circumstances.
