Employment law can be complicated, and few people have a clear idea of all their rights at work. In some circumstances there are particular steps you must follow to sort problems out with your employer before you can take a complaint to an employment tribunal, as well as specific deadlines for making such a complaint. Generally the longer you leave a problem, the harder it is to solve.
We will explain your options, tell you if you have a legal case against your employer and help you decide whether your case is worth taking further. We will then decide and explain what you should do next.
Important Time Limits
- unfair dismissal claim - need to be taken to employment tribunal within 3 months
- redundancy payment claim - 6 months to make a claim from the date you were dismissed
- complaint about something your employer has done - Firstly you need to set out your complaint to your employer in writing within 3 months on the date of the events you are complaining about. You must then wait 28 days from the day you wrote to your employer before you take your claim to a tribunal. In these circumstances, you have 6 months form the date of the event to make your claim to the tribunal.
