Employment rights
Employment tribunal
The independent UK tribunal that hears disputes between workers and employers, such as unfair dismissal, discrimination and unpaid wages. Less formal than a court, but its decisions are legally binding.
A plain-English explanation of how this usually works in the UK, not legal advice. Rules change, so check your own situation. For free, impartial advice on work rights, try Acas. Disclaimer.
