About Yerty
Workplace disputes should be understandable.
Yerty exists to make the UK employment justice system understood — by the people inside it, and by everyone studying, reporting on or trying to improve it.
That means three things: helping people understand their rights, guiding them through the process, and showing what tribunals actually decided in published cases.
Yerty is built by RightsTech Ltd (Company No. 16602847, England & Wales). It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation.

The system is public.
It still isn't clear.
UK employment tribunals operate in public, and their decisions are published on a government register that anyone can read. But a system can be public in theory and still opaque in practice.
Most people don't know what their rights are until something goes wrong. Then they hit a highly specific process — grievance, Acas, deadlines that expire in months — with no map of what comes next. The record of what tribunals decided in similar cases sits published, unstructured, and effectively unreadable.
Workers can't see the path. Professionals and institutions can't see the patterns. That gap is the problem Yerty exists to close: rights, process, and decided outcomes — made understandable.
What Yerty helps people understand
Three things: your rights, the process, and the public record of what tribunals decided.

How we work
Public should mean usable.
Tribunal decisions are published for a reason. Making them actually usable honours that commitment; leaving them unstructured does not.
Public institutions deserve scrutiny. Individuals deserve privacy.
Companies that have been to tribunal, and the patterns across a sector, belong in the public conversation. Claimants deserve protection. We surface the former, protect the latter, and publish how we draw the line.
Our mission has a point of view. Our data shouldn't.
Access to understanding is part of the mission. Published-case analysis is honest about what the decisions contain — and what they don't. Nothing we build predicts or decides any individual case.
Founder note
I kept seeing the same thing: people with real workplace problems who didn't act. Not necessarily because they lacked a valid concern — because they couldn't see a path through the system. The law was there to protect them but the process to use it was invisible, expensive, and intimidating.
Then I looked at the other side — the researchers, the employers, the journalists trying to understand the system in aggregate — and they faced the same opacity from a different angle. Different audiences, same root problem.
So we set out to build the layer that should already exist: structure and visibility on top of a system that's been working in public all along.

What Yerty is — and isn't
Employment disputes are high-stakes. People deserve honesty about what they're getting.
What we are
An information and case-building platform
Tools and guidance to help you understand your situation, follow the process, and organise your case.
A way to see what tribunals decided
Intelligence Hub turns published UK employment tribunal decisions into searchable fields, with a documented methodology and a clear coverage statement.

What we are not
Not a law firm
Yerty does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or representation.
Not a replacement for a solicitor when you need one
Some disputes benefit from professional legal advice early. We say so when it's true. When you do work with a solicitor, the work you've already done on Yerty can make that faster and less costly.
Not the whole picture
Most disputes settle and never appear as a published decision. Settled cases, withdrawn claims, unpublished proceedings and many early-stage disputes are not visible here. We say that clearly because it matters.
