WitneSS faMiliariSation
training
employment tribunals commonly cause anxiety for those involved. to ease these concerns, Croner have developed a specialist preparation day of Witness familiarisation training. the course has two key objectives – to provide: 1. an understanding of the employment
tribunal process
2. a guide to being a witness at an employment tribunal.
the day is recommended for anyone who has not previously given evidence at an employment tribunal – or who may be feeling nervous about the prospect of doing so. What will be covered during the day? our experts offer a complete overview of employment tribunal proceedings and outline coping strategies for witnesses, with the opportunity to put these strategies into practice with role-play. this will help witnesses give evidence effectively and maximise the prospects of success.
this course can be arranged at your company premises or off-site.

and costly. Croner is able to offer a cost-effective range of
payment options to suit your requirements, thanks to our
local presence and the size of our team.

our initial fee will be invoiced as fixed fee on receipt of papers and you will be advised of the additional daily charges and costs that may arise on completion.
3-stage process: Suitable if you have a large number of cases, please contact us to discuss this payment option in further detail. We will be happy to help outline the best arrangement to meet your requirements.
life cycle of a case
CoMproMiSe agreeMentS
however well you run your business and manage your staff, there may be times when it is right to part company with an employee: and this is when you need protection from the risk of an employment tribunal. the only way to protect yourself is by coming to a form of legally binding agreement with the employee – called a compromise agreement.What iS a CoMproMiSe
agreeMent?
this usually means the employee agrees to leave the business in consideration for payment of a financial settlement or on other terms. it is vital that such agreements are drawn up in the proper way and that all the required legal safeguards are in place. if this is not done, the employee can take the settlement money – and still go to an employment tribunal.
hoW Can Croner help?
We deal with such cases every day and can guide you through the process and ensure your position is as watertight as possible.peaCe of Mind and expertiSe
our team specialises in employment law and employment tribunals and is on hand whenever you need to deal with a compromise. We will ensure that your legal documentation meets the requirements of the employment rights act 1996 and other relevant legislation.inSured produCtS
legal expenses insurance relating to
employment dispute representation and awards can protect your organisation from the costs and potentially devastating financial payouts of tribunals. in today’s active compensation culture it is becoming more important than ever to have this kind of protection, and a regular monthly premium allows you to get on with running your organisation knowing that you are covered.
Many of Croner’s employment solutions include legal expenses insurance. alternatively, you can take out specific legal expenses insurance through Croner.

one of our clients was faced with a claim for equal pay, sex discrimination and unfair dismissal. Croner got the majority of the complaints struck out and despite there being no grounds to contest the unfair dismissal claim, got compensation reduced to just £800.
managers from a major UK retailer recently attended one of our Witness familiarisation courses and provided some feedback: “The course met my expectations in every way. i feel better equipped for a Tribunal. i have some facts that i can coach my team with. it was great to spend time with knowledgeable tutors in a safe environment and to be able to ask as many questions as i wanted.”

training
employment tribunals commonly cause anxiety for those involved. to ease these concerns, Croner have developed a specialist preparation day of Witness familiarisation training. the course has two key objectives – to provide: 1. an understanding of the employment
tribunal process
2. a guide to being a witness at an employment tribunal.
the day is recommended for anyone who has not previously given evidence at an employment tribunal – or who may be feeling nervous about the prospect of doing so. What will be covered during the day? our experts offer a complete overview of employment tribunal proceedings and outline coping strategies for witnesses, with the opportunity to put these strategies into practice with role-play. this will help witnesses give evidence effectively and maximise the prospects of success.
this course can be arranged at your company premises or off-site.

CoMproMiSe agreeMentS
however well you run your business and manage your staff, there may be times when it is right to part company with an employee: and this is when you need protection from the risk of an employment tribunal. the only way to protect yourself is by coming to a form of legally binding agreement with the employee – called a compromise agreement.What iS a CoMproMiSe
agreeMent?
this usually means the employee agrees to leave the business in consideration for payment of a financial settlement or on other terms. it is vital that such agreements are drawn up in the proper way and that all the required legal safeguards are in place. if this is not done, the employee can take the settlement money – and still go to an employment tribunal.

employment dispute representation and awards can protect your organisation from the costs and potentially devastating financial payouts of tribunals. in today’s active compensation culture it is becoming more important than ever to have this kind of protection, and a regular monthly premium allows you to get on with running your organisation knowing that you are covered.
Many of Croner’s employment solutions include legal expenses insurance. alternatively, you can take out specific legal expenses insurance through Croner.
