Employment Tribunal

The Employment Tribunals are judicial bodies who determine disputes between employers and employees (or unions) over employment rights.

The Employment Tribunals are courts of first instance and their decisions are not legally binding on other Employment Tribunals. If an Employment Tribunal makes an error of law, its decision may become the subject of an appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal.

More information can be found on the Employment Tribunals Service website. The website gives information on presenting a complaint, defending a complaint and the tribunal process, as well as providing the mandatory forms that must be used for presenting or defending a complaint.
