There has been an article recently containing feedback from retailers on
many major issues that affect their businesses. One of the paramount areas of
concern is the amount of employment law which affects owners of shops. In the last
couple of years the maximum award for unfair or constructive dismissal has been
increased to fifty thousand pounds, with unlimited awards for sex, race and
disability discrimination.
Needless to say, retailers who have acted reasonably and fairly will be
disappointed to say the least, to lose at an employment tribunal if they have
been accused of not following the correct procedures. Over the past ten years
the number of applications to employment tribunals has increased by a massive
one hundred and fifty per cent, currently standing at over one hundred thousand
cases a year.
