New quick references: Employment tribunal and EAT fees

The XpertHR quick reference section sets out the fees that are payable under the new fee structure introduced in employment tribunals and the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT). 

• Employment tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal fees We set out the issue fee and hearing fee payable by claimants in employment tribunal proceedings, as well as the fees payable by both parties for making specified applications. We also set out the fees payable by the appellant in the EAT. 
• Type A and type B tribunal claims Fees payable in the employment tribunal depend on whether the claim is a type A or a type B claim, and the category into which a claim falls depends on the nature of the claim. We set out the type A and type B claims.
