Below are some further examples of disability discrimination in employment:
If you have experienced disability discrimination in the workplace or during the recruitment process, then we recommend you act quickly. The law states that an employee only has three months, less one day, from the date of the discriminatory act to start a complaint at an employment tribunal.
In order to bring a tribunal claim, we recommend you contact our disability discrimination solicitors in the first instance. Any employee who wishes to bring a claim for disability discrimination at work needs to submit details of their claim to the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS), so that they can establish whether the employer will agree to ‘early conciliation’. Depending on your circumstances, we may be able to help you with this.
In general you have three months less one day from the most recent act of discrimination or breach to take action, meaning you should act fast.
We recommend you speak to one of our lawyers in the first instance. As part of the process, you’ll need to get in touch with the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS), who will aim to achieve early conciliation with your employer. However, our lawyers can assist in this process where appropriate and we have formally been instructed.
Please be aware that the ACAS process can take up to around a month to complete, which will be taken from the three months you have to begin with. It’s important to act quickly in order to bring a tribunal claim. If the conciliation procedure is unsuccessful, we may be able to support you with the tribunal. If you feel you have a potential employment claim please act quickly and contact us today.
