If she wins or more likely settles, the solicitor gets a massive chunk of her compensation. If she takes it to the full hearing and loses the solicitor gets nothing.
What the taxpayer pays for is the administration that goes into trying to get the parties to settle.

both sides pay for their own lawyers whether they win or lose.

I spoke to someone who runs a small business who also employs non-family members. An ex-employer of theirs submitted an employment tribunal claim and they were told to settle as it was cheaper. Fighting it would cost them approximately £40,000 in solicitors fees if it went to a full hearing. In a tribunal except in rare cases, both sides pay for their own lawyers whether they win or lose.

Superficial? Yes
Real fact of life? Yes

Then when it comes round for renewals, or if one of them ends up interviewing you elsewhere in later life, you will be rememberd as "the scruffy one" at best, or even worse "the one who didn't adhere to company policy"
My thrust is that the ENTIRE COUNTRY needs to loosen up. Not just me.. I'm already loose.

T-shirt and jeans, those who know you won't care, those who don't know you might think less. Why take the risk when income is involved?

Her rights are not greaters than that of the buisness owners, actually if anything they are less because she needs them, they do not need her

Originally posted by lilelvis2000 View PostI'm afraid I don't understand what clothes a hairdresser chooses to wear (or not wear) has any affect on her ability and skill to cut hair. What if she was in a wheelchair but still could cut hair - would that also prevent her from getting a job? Seems pretty cut and dried here - the employer is in the wrong.

But it's not a simple world, for the same reason one would not generally hire someone to run the a client facing department for a bank (or really in any part of the bank) if they had tatoos on their face, long hair and earrings and wore hippy/heavy metal clothes, this girl will not most likely not get hired as hairdresser in any normal salon because she does not present an image any normal salon would want representing them

My barber is almost totally bald and has taken to wearing a hat to keep his head warm/hide his baldness
He still knows how to cut hair though!
