Employers in serviced offices in Cardiff may notice a rise in the number of staff making tribunal claims against redundancy.
Paul Quinn, an employment solicitor at Stephensons Solicitors LLP, explained that more workers are learning about their employment rights.
"I think people are also becoming a lot more aware, particularly through the internet and other media. It doesn't take much research to find a whole host of information," he commented.
The expert suggested that as the redundancy rates increase it is likely that more tribunal claims will be brought.
To prevent being the subject of a claim, Mr Quinn recommended individuals draw up compromise agreements.
Employees who sign these contracts are effectively wavering their rights to bring issues before a court in return for payment, it was explained.
In a recent article, the Daily Telegraph advised workers who are made redundant to check their rights, avoid making verbal agreements and check if employers have followed the rules.
