Litigation is a method used for addressing disputes via the legal system. If you cannot settle a workplace disagreement internally, you may fight the matter through employment litigation. The legal procedure may be lengthy and difficult. However, the outcomes for such scenarios may be totally conclusive in the end.
Disagreements in the workplace may be disruptive and time-consuming for your organisation. Additionally, they may result in expensive litigation or compensation claims. Employment experts at Tann Law can assist you in avoiding and resolving issues as swiftly as possible.
At work, conflicts may take on a variety of shapes. They may range from a disagreement between two coworkers to organised groups of employees airing concerns about management or working conditions. These disagreements might be sparked by the following:
- Managerial decisions
- Treatment that is unfair or inconsistent
- Unclear or inadequate communication that is not understood
- Harassment and bullying
- Disagreement on compensation and pay benefits
How can I settle disagreements without resorting to a tribunal court?
Numerous issues might be resolved via your organisation’s internal whistleblower or grievance processes. If your employee continues to have issues, there should be the availability of alternate dispute resolution mechanisms such as:
- Collaboration with ACAS, which helps with a variety of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods, like conciliation, mediation, and arbitration.
- Directly negotiating with the employee in order to establish a settlement arrangement
- Private mediation with a third-party impartial
- If you are already the subject of a claim and an employment judge thinks the case should go to court, you can use judicial mediation.
It is critical to settle conflicts immediately in order to avoid them growing into formal litigation and causing more interruption to your organisation. Litigation takes time and may be costly.
