Stress, anger, fear and frustration

These are the emotions our clients feel when they receive an ET1. Often it is 'out of the blue' and the allegations made by the employee seem wildly inaccurate. The difficulty is dealing with this calmly when it is you and your business that is being attacked.

Then there is the time that dealing with the claim takes up. Producing documents, witness statements, dealing with the Claimant's representative who will talk in legalise to you.

Finally there's the cost, not just if you lose, but the cost in staff time to have witnesses attend the Employment Tribunal or tied up preparing for the case.
