Workplace Law is holding a Mock Employment Tribunal at the MI Conference Centre, London, on 15 March 2007. This highly interactive event involves role play as well as observation and will provide first-hand experience of an Employment Tribunal in a safe environment.

Employment Tribunals can be immensely damaging for any company; employees, applicants and workers can lodge an Employment Tribunal claim against a company at no cost. Reasons for claims include unfair dismissal, discrimination, unlawful deduction of wages and equal pay. Employers can incur thousands of pounds just defending a case and are unlikely to be able to reclaim their costs.

If the claim is successful, the employer will have to pay compensation which can, in some circumstances, be unlimited.

The Mock Employment Tribunal is a must-attend event for anyone in HR, company directors and owners, senior managers or anyone whose role may be affected by an Employment Tribunal.

The Mock Employment Tribunal is run in association with Hegarty & Co Solicitors. The expert speaker panel on the day includes Tim Thompson, Solicitor at Hegarty & Co specialising in HR and Employment Law, and Jayn Bond, Workplace Law's lead HR and Employment Law Consultant and Lay member of an employment tribunal panel.
