Tribunal Insurance: Do you know what you’ve bought?
Many HR providers include tribunal insurance in their packages, and it sounds reassuring. If an employee brings an Employment Tribunal claim, there’s cover behind you.
But having tribunal insurance isn’t the same as knowing a particular claim will be covered. Conditions, exclusions and limits vary widely between providers, and the headline figure rarely tells the whole story.
Our free guide sets out what employers should check before relying on their cover.

Why we’ve written it
At Humber HR People, we’ve chosen not to offer tribunal insurance. We’re not saying it’s wrong for every business. We believe employers should understand the legal and financial risks involved and keep the freedom to make the commercial decisions that are right for them. This guide is about helping you ask the right questions, whichever provider you use.
