HR teams need to be prepared for what to do in the event of a tribunal claim being brought against their organisation. The time limits involved are tight and strictly applied, so employers need to be ready to respond.
The IRS workshop on preparing for tribunal, in London on 30 June 2010, is an interactive event for HR professionals to prepare them for effectively managing an employment tribunal case.
Even the most legally compliant of employers can face a tribunal claim from a disgruntled employee, and having a strong case isn't always enough. Employers need to understand the procedural requirements to be met in order to defend the claim, and need to know what to expect at the hearing itself, to be able to put forward their best case.
The XpertHR resource pack (on the XpertHR website) rounds up all the information and guidance available on XpertHR on preparing for tribunal hearings. The pack highlights where subscribers can find explanation of the law on tribunal procedures, faqs, practical guidance, and other relevant articles.
The pack will help delegates to the workshop to get the most out of the day. The workshop agenda will cover:
- attempts to settle a claim without the need for a tribunal hearing;
- the documentation involved in a tribunal claim;
- how to manage disclosure of documents;
- preparing witnesses for the hearing; and
- possible outcomes, costs and the potential for appeal.
Delegates will also be guided through a mock tribunal hearing, to get a taste of what to expect.
XpertHR subscribers who book places on the IRS workshop on preparing for tribunal are entitled to a £50 discount (per delegate). To claim the discount simply enter the code PZR27347 on the booking form.
Future conferences from the XpertHR group include the Conference on discrimination law on 7 July 2010.
