Description

Details

Employment Claims without a Lawyer: A Handbook for Litigants in Person is for anyone thinking about, or in the middle of, an employment claim and who does not have a lawyer to help them. Managing an employment dispute or representing yourself or your small organisation in an employment tribunal can be daunting but, with the help of this book, it is not impossible.

This fully revised third edition leads the reader through the whole process in clear plain language to provide a complete view of what’s involved and how to best present a case. The author, David Curwen, is a barrister with 35 years of experience representing claimants and businesses and has distilled his experience to provide the practical tips and background law needed to take on this task with greater confidence.

Importantly he covers the steps that both the employee and employer need to consider when a problem first arises and before it gets to a formal claim.

The 3rd edition has been updated to important changes to employee rights over the past three years including

new ACAS guidance on workplace investigations, managing sickness and the best practice for video hearings
expanded guidance on disability discrimination under the Equality Act
changes to working time regulations and holiday pay
new procedures for preliminary hearing of the Employment Tribunal
the new day 1 right to flexible working
plus all the rates and compensation limits have been updated to reflect those in force from April 2024

Key Features

Practical advice for both the employee and employer
Scores of examples & invaluable model letters
Comprehensive jargon buster explaining key words and phrases
Summaries of the most important cases

Essential reading for anyone representing themselves or who is involved in a potential claim and wants to know more about the process.
