Employment tribunals play a crucial role in resolving disputes between employees and employers. They handle a range of cases from unfair dismissal to discrimination claims. If you are facing an employment tribunal, Bermans can support and guide you through the process.
Unfair dismissal occurs when an employee is dismissed without a fair reason or without following the proper legal procedures. This can include dismissals that are discriminatory or retaliatory, for example.
Discrimination in the workplace is a serious issue that can have lasting impacts on an individual’s career and well-being. If you believe you have been a victim of discrimination, it is important to understand your rights and the legal avenues available to you.
