Arbitration

Arbitration involves an independent and impartial person called an arbitrator (acting alone or chairing a panel) being appointed by the Labour Relations Agency to make a decision on a dispute. This decision is based on the evidence presented by the parties to that dispute.

If someone has lodged a claim to the tribunal about their employment rights a copy is sent to the Labour Relations Agency.

We have a legal duty to offer Conciliation in most cases when someone has a complaint about their employment rights even if no claim has been made to the Tribunal service.

The number and extent of individual employment rights have increased dramatically.  This has led to a greater number of claims being lodged with the Industrial Tribunal where workers and employees allege that their employment rights have been breached.  It makes good business sense to resolve disputes in the workplace at the earliest opportunity.
