Introduction to ETS

Such are the complexities of employment laws in the UK, with well over 100,000 applications being made to Employment Tribunals every year, representation by Employment Tribunal Services Ltd 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. Fundamental changes in the UK employment laws were introduced by the Employment Act 2002 and have increased the number of cases heard by employment tribunals.

Our teams of experts are fully conversant with today's employment laws in the UK . Based in Glasgow , we have over 50 years experience in handling all types of cases heard by Employment Tribunals all over the UK . Importantly, it should also be noted that year on year, employment laws have spread into every area of working life. Unfair Dismissal protection now covers workers' rights in relation to parental, family and pregnancy leave. Similarly, employment laws in the UK cover rights relating to trade unions, asserting a statutory right, health and safety, claiming the UK minimum wage and refusal to work on a Sunday. Maternity rights are protected under employment laws through the 2002 Employment. Act.

And beginning in October 2004, every employer in the UK not offering written contacts of employment will discover that minimum discipline and grievance procedures are now part and parcel of their unwritten contracts. Additionally, employment laws in the UK now address redundancy, TUPE, and sex, race or disability discrimination. The laws are highly complex, so representation is crucial.

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

We are also members of the tribunal users group and were the only consultants to be invited to give evidence to the Gaymer Commission on the future of employment tribunals.
