Employee Tribunal Protection – Time and Attendance Systems

The thought of anyone taking you to tribunal over their treatment during employment is distressing enough.

But knowing that you don’t have the data to back up the fair reasons why you dismissed an employee is even more challenging.

In the UK, employee tribunals will hear claims such as unfair dismissal, breach of contract, discrimination, unlawful deductions from wages, redundancy payments and more.

The tribunal panel consists of an employment judge (who will run the proceedings), an employers’ organisations representative and a person representing employee’s organisations.

During your tribunal, both the employer and the employee will be cross-examined and all evidence taken into account. Once the trial is over a decision will be made that can involve fines, remuneration and more.

How can a Time and Attendance system protect me?

Many of the complaints brought to a tribunal are a ‘she said, he said’ matter. Disagreements over payroll, dismissals, breach of contracts and more can all be substantiated with one valuable asset – reliable data.
