I have deliberately limited the links to a
small number. This selection should serve as a starting point
to lead you to many other worthwhile sites but will not, I hope,
give you terminal information overload. The sites give terrific
value in themselves.
http://www.ets.gov.uk/ This
is the Employment Tribunals site and provides helpful background
information about the Tribunals and how to make a claim, the types
of claim that you can make and the publications you can get hold
of. It is most useful for providing an on-line service for lodging
a formal Tribunal claim against an employer or responding to a
claim. Lots of useful links that I have not listed here.
http://www.hmso.gov.uk/
Also known as The Stationery Office its pages take you in to most
of the Statutes you will want to read on Employment Law but not
all as 1988 is the starting date of the service and 1987 for Statutory
Instruments. You can access draft legislation if you want to see
what’s coming next.
http://www.dti.gov.uk/er/
The dti site is huge with masses of information, links and publications
on work and business. This address takes you straight to the Employment
Relations pages where, amongst many goodies, you will find a very
helpful series of Guidance notes on most employment law subjects
and further links makes this well worth a visit.
http://www.dpr.gov.uk/ This
address hides the site of the Information Commissioner - Data
Protection chief in more commonly known language. Here you will
find useful information about whether you need to register and
Notifying your data use. You can also search the Register which
is never entirely up to date.
http://www.acas.org.uk/
The Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service site is truly
dedicated to informing and helping both employers and employees.
Publications on-line or in hard copy on any employment law subject
you care to mention, a wealth of Q & A, and specimen forms
for dealing with formal procedures. Kept well up to date.
http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/
Visiting the Law Society may not seem to be a “must”
on a busy web tourist’s list of sites but I am mentioning
it for its prodigious selection of legal-oriented links and for
access to the professional standards required of solicitors
