Just a comment on tribunals.One of my ex drivers decided to go to tribunal. His barrister was confident of 43-45k. He was that confident that he turned down an offer of 7k, which was what I was spending for the tribunal days.
He got 2.5 on a technicality, which as he had an award meant he couldn’t appeal. Some might even think that was a deliberate decision…
I went through one in 2009, I understand the risks. This company are a mess though when it comes to HR, and they regularly get turned over. My lawyer & barrister have about 5 successful cases on the. Amongst other things, they’ve used the same manager in different stages of the process, and against Acas & their own guidelines. They are a huge vehicle manufacturer in the Midlands. Shouldn’t be hard to guess.
Fair enough.
Oddly the technicality that he got an award for was that out of 4 managers we used 3 and we should have used the fourth.
But then again we did get the impression the award was made to stop an appeal. His actual complaint was not upheld.
