Employment tribunals increase
Source: People Management
New figures have revealed an increase in employment tribunals by more than half. However equal pay tribunal claims have dropped in the same period by 18%.
The rise in tribunals has been attributed by The Tribunal Service to an increase in multiple claims which have risen by 90% on 2008-09 and ' partly as a result of the changing economic climate'.
Multiple claims are where two or more people instigate cases on similar grounds- perhaps against a single employer or Tupe cases.
Age discrimination claims have climbed from 3,800 in 2008-09 to 5,200 in 2009-10 arise of 37%.
Claims associated it redundancy have risen 76% from 10,800 last year to 19,000 this year.
Unfair dismissal claims rose by 9% to 57,400 cases.
