Introduction to the Employment Tribunal claims process for People Professionals.
We’ll help you understand what you need to know to prepare and how to deal with thorny problems in your response, what is disclosable and your options when the claimant ignores their deadlines.
This session will allow you to:-
- understand the key stages in the Employment Tribunal process
- support your organisation when a claim arrives
- steer your organisation through the key stages, whether you are instructing solicitors or defending the claim in house
- deal with the disclosure of your evidence
- identify what witnesses are helpful and what their witness statements need to cover
- alert you to tactical issues; and
- suggest alternatives your stakeholders may want to consider rather than fighting the claim.
