The
Government seems determined to continue to reduce the remedies available to
employees on unfair dismissal. Following on from the increase in the period
that an employee has to have been employed before they can pursue a claim
(increased from 1 year to 2 years) Business Secretary Vince Cable has now announced
consultation papers covering proposed new employment tribunal rules, a
reduction to the cap on unfair dismissal awards, and measures to encourage the
use of compromise agreements (to be called "settlement agreements")
to assist the smooth termination of employment. In times of change it is
essential that if you have a problem you seek help from an employment
specialist. For help for employees or employers feel free to e mail me on nholdcroft@tolhurstfisher.com
