5.1a Employment Tribunal

Unit 5

1a)
Employment Tribunal procedures both before and after the hearing
Even though you have received a notification letter that a former employee has made a claim for unfair dismissal, I would suggest sending a letter to the employee, offering conciliation through ACAS. Conciliation can help resolve a dispute without the need of a tribunal hearing. An agreement called COT3 reached with the assistance of ACAS to resolve a tribunal claim is legally binding on the parties and removes the claimants (Joe’s) rights to pursue his claim in an employment tribunal. This can be a less time consuming and costly way to sort out a dispute.
On the possibility that Joe declines this offer and would still like to proceed with tribunal, I would like …show more content…

They were both fired because they had taken peyote as a part of their religious ceremonies, at that time the possession of peyote was a crime under the State law. The counselors filed for unemployment in the state, but were denied by the Employment Division because the reason for their unemployment was work-related misconduct.

    The court said that “Dr. Jennings performed his obligations under the employment agreement” and that Jennings followed through with good faith that he would receive his severance; SSM did not follow through with their agreement, which is fraud. SSM argued that they did not because Jennings “failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted because the employment agreement included an integration clause. That integration clause, SSM contended, effectively sealed the contract at the time of its signing and constituted the entire agreement of the parties.” By Jennings failing to state a claim, which was a clause in the contract, SSM had the right to not give his severance. The appellant court agreed to SSM’s point.

    The employer entered into a voluntary settlement agreement with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), assenting to reinstating and recompensing, back pay, each illegally discharged person. Later, the employer refused to comply with the negotiated terms of the agreement because the firm proclaimed to have evidence that many of the discharged individuals were undocumented workers. Therefore, if reinstated, the employer would be in violation of both federal (Immigration and Reform Control Act of 1986) and state (the Legal Arizona Workers Act) immigration laws. Both of which prohibits the hiring of undocumented workers. As a matter of public policy, the employer should not be required to reinstate the unlawfully terminated employee, due to said persons being undocumented workers.

    I believe Miranda Rights are a beneficial tool for all American citizens; therefore, arresting officers should continue to read the Miranda Rights to those that they arrest. Every person has heard the phrase "Miranda Rights", whether or not that be when taking a law class, or perhaps across particular experience with their use. What do these two words really truly mean? Where did they come from and how do they influence to an individual's everyday life?
