One of the recommendations is for workers to be charged £250 to lodge an employment tribunal claim. Prime Minister David Cameron recently appointed Lord Young, the new enterprise tsar, to conduct a review into the burden of employment law on small firms.
Experts have urged the government to go one step further and consider controversial measures to weed out false claims from the tribunal system
Under plans already being considered by the Prime Minister to reduce the number of tribunal claims that end up in court - and slash red tape for business - staff would have to work for two years before lodging unfair dismissal claims, twice as long as present.
Experts have urged the government to go one step further and consider controversial measures to weed out false claims from the tribunal system, such as making workers pay to lodge a claim.
Many business owners feel that far too many spurious claims from former disgruntled employees who hold a grudge against their employer clog up the courts and waste taxpayers' money.
In the three years to 2009-10 over 20,000 claims were struck out by a judge and just under one in ten of the 227,00 claims completed, according to the latest Tribunals Service statistics. Over 30% were withdrawn by the individual, usually where both sides had reached an out-of-court settlement.
"Claimants should pay a small fee up front to register the case. Small enough to be affordable, but significant enough to make people really think about the merit of the claim. Perhaps £250 for most people, less for people on incomes below a certain threshold," said Helen Giles, managing director of charity Broadway's Real People.
