Payments and Awards

Although we have an excellent record of providing legally compliant, business focused advice, nevertheless an employee could successfully raise a claim in tribunal or you could be prosecuted under Health & Safety legislation and it is common knowledge that damages awards and legal fees can be prohibitive. In some cases, such awards can seriously damage a company.

We provide guarantee cover against such awards and legal costs which gives you and your managers peace of mind at a time when maximum compensation awards for Unfair Dismissal are in excess of £50,000 and awards for discrimination are uncapped.

In terms of Health & Safety you are provided with cover for professional Expenses incurred for appeals against the serving of an Improvement Notice or Prohibition Notice and for the defence, including any appeals, under qualifying Health & Safety legislation.
