The Employment Tribunal system is at the heart of the
Government's ongoing review of employment law. The
Government's proposals aim not only to encourage the early
resolution of workplace disputes but also to simplify the
Employment Tribunal process. Existing employment protections

The forthcoming changes include a new early
conciliation process; new Employment Tribunal fees and rules;
changes to unfair dismissal compensation and new financial
penalties.
