Whitlseblowing Claims And How To Defend Them, By Employment Partner Angus Menzies

Whistleblowing is regularly in the news and it increasingly forms part, if not the main basis, of claims in the Employment Tribunal.
The fact that there is no two-year service requirement for bringing claims, and the absence of a statutory cap on compensation in whistleblowing claims, means that individuals are increasingly likely to assert whistleblower status when they believe they have been mistreated at work or dismissed unfairly, but bringing claims based on whistleblowing is not straightforward.

In this webinar, Angus breaks down the types of whistle blowing claims that can be brought and consider what employers can do about them.
