CONFLICT OF INTEREST Since its inauguration this helpline has been funded by HR & Diversity Management Limited, an HR consultancy established by Christine and David Pratt, who also founded this helpline (Charity). The Consultancy does not profit from the helpline - quite the contrary! The Consultancy funds the helpline entirely. This is not a Government funded helpline. The processes between the Consultancy and the Charity are open and transparant and were vetted and approved by both Companies House and The Charities Commission when the Charity was founded. Furthermore, the Charity works closely with a number of Lexel Accredited Employment Law Solicitors who have also audited and approved processes in compliance with Law Society Regulations. Governing bodies and Associate Partners are satisfied that there is no conflict of interest as the relationship between the two operations are transparent and lawful. If you are concerned about conflict of interest, or do not understand the term, please contact our Trustees. There is a complaints procedure on this website. Write in with any concerns and our Trustee's will always respond. We are not a Samaritans lookalike. We help people in distress in a practical, positive, timely, way and in some cases we will put callers in touch with professional service providers ; (solicitors, investigators, mediators etc). Where a fee changes hands this is declared up front. Everyone who calls the helpline is given 'open and transprent' choice - and advice and guidance to enable them to ascertain and understand both their legal options and/or statutory obligations.
TRIBUNALS: The average cost to an employer in defending a Tribunal claim is £15,000 to £20,000. Last year there were 189,000 Tribunal applications - up one third from 2006. During this period the average compensation awards were; £7,974 for unfair dismissal, £14,049 for race discrimination and £10,053 for sex discrimination. Equal pay claims are the most financially crippling according to Paul Lambdin of Stevens and Bolton. "They can become very technical because often you are comparing apples with pears". The same can be said for disability discriminatin cases, where frequently expert advice is sought on whether an employer has made a reasonable adjustment to accommodate an employee, as required by law. Personnel Today and Messrs Stevens & Bolton. 23 September 2008 PUBLIC SECTOR SICKNESS: Official figures show that workplace sickness in the Department for Work and Pensions cost £65.8 million in 2007-8 bringing the total cost to the Public Sector in the past three years to £228 million. These figures show that, on average, each of the DWP's 114,000 staff took 10.1 sick days last year, nearly double the private sector average of 5.8 days.
