Anon at 5.48pm and Ed. I couldn't disagree more. Having to deal with a fanciful claim (or the threat of one) inevitably results in a "lose/lose" for the employer, whatever the outcome. This has devastating consequences, particularly for those running small businesses. The introduction of fees has gone a small way towards redressing the disgraceful bias towards employees that is endemic in our employment process. Whether the fees are currently too high or not is another issue, however to suggest that they should be removed altogether is, frankly, ridiculous.
