Panic! An employer's nightmare. Now let's get it into perspective Common claims are: Unpaid wages - if its gotten this far, you probably do owe something and it will be cheaper to settle the claim Constructive / unfair dismissal - employees need 2 years service to claim this and it all comes down to process. No process means you probably will need to pay out, that's why HR input is so important! Discrimination - this is potentially most costly but requires the employee to prove they've lost out and been treated badly compared to others. It's tricky. Tribunals are still backed up from covid, meaning a new claim today is taking up to 2 years to hit the courts. There are multiple opportunities to resolve claims within this window. If you're contemplating a dismissal or sense a claim might be on its way, get in touch ASAP for some advice. #bitesizehr #hr #hruk #humanresources #hrconsultant #hradvice #solihullbusiness #birminghambusiness #solihull #birmingham #freelancehr #wythall #dorridge #knowle #yardley #hallgreen #tyseley #westmidlands
