Introduction to ETS

Such are the complexities of employment laws in the U.K with well over 100,000 applications being made to Employment Tribunals every year, representation by Employment Tribunal Services (ETS) has become vitally important.

Research has indicated that employers and employees who are professionally represented are far more likely to win their cases than those who go it alone. 

ETS, is a division of The Xact Group Ltd. Our team of experts is fully conversant with today's employment laws in the UK. From our Head Office near Glasgow, we deal and handle all types of cases heard by Employment Tribunals throughout the UK. Whether your case is a simple one of unfair dismissal or involves complicated matters such as disability discrimination or TUPE, one of our experts will be able to help you, wherever in the UK you are located.

Year on year, employment laws have spread into every area of working life. Unfair dismissal law has extended workers' rights in areas such as pregnancy leave, trade unions dismissals, asserting a statutory right and whistle blowing.

It is now common for claims to be pleaded as unfair dismissal with discrimination and unlawful deduction from wages thrown in for good measure. Not only does this increase the complexity of the case, but means the case will take much longer to hear.

The result is that it is almost impossible for Tribunals to deal with anything other than the most straightforward cases in a day. Many cases take several days to resolve costing employers valuable time and money. 

Unlike the civil courts, employment tribunals do not award costs to the winning party, therefore even if you win your case, your costs can run into thousands of pounds.

ETS offers highly competitive rates for representation, without in any way compromising the quality of service on offer.

Such is our team's reputation that we are instructed by a number of other consultancies to handle their Employment Tribunal litigation. Our team handles several hundred cases a year related to UK employment law, the vast majority having a successful outcome for our clients.
