Government considering re-introducing Employment Tribunal Fees 13 November 2018
It is being reported in the Law Society Gazette that the government is considering reintroducing tribunal fees.
Whilst no detail is given, the Ministry of Justice has said it is confident that a fee system can be found which does not deny Claimants access to justice, for which the government was criticised in R (on the application of UNISON) v Lord Chancellor.
This follows on from a written answer in Hansard in the summer, where the Ministry of Justice said it was reviewing how (not whether) it would reintroduce fees.
With thanks to Daniel Barnett’s employment law bulletin for providing this update.

Workplace issues over winter months 16 November 2018
Dry and settled but turning cooler…indications of more unsettled, breezier conditions…whatever the weather, employers need to have policies in place to help your business cope during periods of bad weather.
With weather predictions changing daily in the tabloids from ‘mild for the time of year’ to ‘beast from the east to return’, planning ahead with a review of policies is never a bad idea to ensure you have clear communication strategies in place to mitigate any issues that may arise.
Acas provides guidance for employers on workplace issues over winter months
Winter often brings its own set of workplace issues. Adverse weather conditions can lead to staff shortages due to travel disruption, and seasonal celebrations often result in a rush to book annual leave.
We all know it's going to happen but how many of us plan in advance? Our advice is: don't get caught cold - have clear policies around issues such as getting to work and taking leave requests and communicate those to staff now.
