Government to review impact of Employment Tribunal fees and fee remission scheme

The Government has published a terms of reference to enable a review of the introduction of Employment Tribunal fees to get underway.

The Government has published a terms of reference to enable a review of the introduction of Employment Tribunal fees to get underway. The review will consider how effective the introduction of fees has been in meeting the original objectives, which were to: (i) transfer a proportion of the costs from the taxpayer to those who use the tribunal where they can afford to do so; (ii) encourage parties to seek alternative ways of resolving their disputes, e.g. by using Acas conciliation services; and (iii) maintain access to justice. The review will also consider the effectiveness of the new fee remission scheme. The terms of reference requires an indication of any recommendations for changes to the structure and level of fees, including those to streamline procedures to reduce costs. The review is expected to be completed later in the year and the Government will consult on any proposals for reforms.
