THE inception of the Employment Relations Promulgation in 2007 was aimed at adopting less adversarial ways to resolve workplace conflict.
Employment Tribunal Magistrate Andrew See made the comments in a ruling he made on January 20th 2020 in a case of a worker not receiving wages and the case dragging on through the mediation process.
“It is well recognised that the modern employment tribunal, must provide timely, fair and cost effective ways of meeting the needs of all stakeholders,” said Mr See.
He said dismissal grievances must be dealt with in a timely fashion.
“Such an imperative becomes all the more important, where the statutory function of the Tribunal is to assist parties achieve and maintain effective employment relations and where possible, to allow for them to amicably settle the matter.”
