Tory Chancellor Osborn has just announced that the qualifying period for Unfair Dismissal to Tribunal will now be moved from one year to two. This, in his opinion, will give 'small business' more flexibility. In other words it will allow for more victimisation of vulnerable workers.
In addition those who take a claim to the Tribunal would have to pay a fee in advance which they will get back if or when they win. These drastic changes will put those who are in a weak position in a worst place.
My advice is for anyone who feels victimised to look whether their claim is covered by any of the Discrimination laws and regulations. The qualifying period for that is one day!
