The Ministry of Justice set out its options on fees for employment tribunals:

- The claimant would be charged an initial fee of between £150 and £250 to begin a claim, with an additional fee of between £250 and £1,250 if the claim went to a hearing.

- The claimant would pay a single fee of between £200 and £600 for a claim of up to £30,000 rising to £1750 for claims above this amount.

Under both options, there would be fee waivers for those on the lowest incomes. Justice minister Jonathan Djanogly said it was “not sustainable” for the taxpayer to cover the £84m cost of funding the tribunal system.
