How to avoid an Employment Tribunal
The cost of defending Employment Tribunal cases can vary significantly and could cost your business anything from £10,000 to £50,000.

The average award for an unfair dismissal case in the UK is a little under £7,000, with claims resulting from discrimination costing significantly more. Businesses also need to consider the hidden cost of employment law claims caused by the damage it can do to their reputation as an employer and as a business that clients and customers want to work with. Often this cost can be more damaging than the award itself.
