Survey of Employment Tribunal Applications, 2003

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br>Survey of Employment Tribunal Applications (SETA2003) is the fourth in a series of surveys dating back to 1987 which aim to provide information on the characteristics of the parties and the key features of a representative sample of Employment Tribunal cases. The main aims of SETA 2003 were:<br> <li>To update the findings from the Survey of Employment Tribunal Applications, 1998 (held at the UK Data Archive under SN: 4984);</li><br> <li>To provide a basis for an analysis of the factors that determine the outcomes and durations of Employment Tribunal cases;</li><br> <li>To establish existing practice and attitudes in relation to workplace dispute resolution, ahead of the introduction of the new legislation in this area due to come into effect in October 2004.</li><br> <br> Telephone interviews were conducted with either the Applicant or the Employer involved in a random sample of 4,500 Employment Tribunal cases completed over a 12 month period (66% response rate). <br> <br> The redesigned SETA provides the first systemic overview of the operation of the ET system. As the benchmark for future surveys the series will allow analysts to track the development of the operation of the system as a whole, as well as the opportunity to delve deeper into minority and subsets of the main jurisdictions.<br> <br> A later qualitative survey 'Experiences of Claimants in Race Discrimination Employment Tribunal Cases, 2005-2006' (held at the UK Data Archive under SN: 5667) was carried out amongst claimants who took part in this study and who were willing to be contacted again.<br> <br> <br><br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><br>The SETA2003 dataset combines responses from the Applicant and Employers surveys. It contains information on the characteristics of parties in a random sample of Employment Tribunal applications. There were 2236 productive interviews with Applicants and 2281 interviews with Employers. The dataset also contains a number of variables from the Employment Tribunal administrative record-keeping system. The supporting documentation includes a full technical report (including a report on survey non-response), the Applicant and Employer questionnaires and a user guide to the survey.<br> <br>摘要版权归英国数据服务（UK Data Service）及数据收集版权所有者所有。 2003年就业法庭申请调查（SETA2003）是自1987年起开展的系列调查中的第四项，旨在提供就业法庭案件当事人特征及代表性样本关键特征的相关信息。SETA2003的主要目标如下： - 更新1998年就业法庭申请调查的结果（该调查存档于英国数据档案馆（UK Data Archive），编号SN:4984）； - 为分析影响就业法庭案件结果与审理时长的因素提供依据； - 在2004年10月该领域新立法生效前，确立职场纠纷解决的现行实践与态度。 研究人员对12个月内办结的4500件就业法庭案件随机样本中的申请人或雇主进行了电话采访（回复率66%）。 重新设计的SETA首次对就业法庭（ET）系统的运作进行了系统性概述。作为未来调查的基准，该系列调查将使分析师能够追踪整个系统运作的发展情况，并深入研究主要司法管辖区中的少数群体及子集。 后续开展了一项定性调查——《2005-2006年种族歧视就业法庭案件中索赔人的经历》（存档于英国数据档案馆，编号SN:5667），调查对象为参与本研究且愿意再次接受联系的索赔人。 **主要主题**： SETA2003数据集整合了申请人调查与雇主调查的回复结果，包含就业法庭申请随机样本中当事人特征的相关信息。研究共完成2236份有效申请人采访及2281份雇主采访。数据集还包含就业法庭行政记录系统中的若干变量。辅助文档包括完整的技术报告（含调查无回应情况报告）、申请人与雇主问卷以及调查用户指南。
