<p /> <p>Fees were implemented in the Employment tribunals on 29 July 2013. The implementation
project for fees was delivered on time and to budget, and around 70% of employment
tribunal claims are now received on-line.</p><p> </p><p>Fees are part of the Government’s
broader package of Employment reforms. In particular, we want to encourage people

a review of Employment tribunal fees and we will be bringing forward our plans on
the scope and timing of the review in due course.</p>
