Employment tbi is of the view that best practice is to act early before an issue escalates into expensive litigation. A relatively small amount of money spent at the planning stage may save thousands of pounds spent on costs and damages in the Employment Tribunal. This is particularly so when one considers the mandatory disciplinary and grievance procedures and the increasing volume of discrimination legislation which can be hard to navigate. It is worthwhile noting that discrimination claims have no cap on compensation in the Employment Tribunals.
