What is an employment tribunal? toggle accordion

Employment tribunals are independent judicial bodies who resolve disputes between employers and employees over employment rights. If your case progresses to the employment tribunal, our solicitors can help you every step of the way.

Is there a time limit for making a claim to the employment tribunal? toggle accordion

Yes. The time limits with employment tribunal claims are strict, so we recommend you act fast if you would like to seek legal advice. You have three months, minus one day, from the date your dispute began.

Do I need to go through ACAS before going to the employment tribunal? toggle accordion

Early Conciliation through ACAS is mandatory for any type of employment claim. If you want to bring a claim to the employment tribunal, you will need to have submitted an EC (early conciliation) form and contacted ACAS, who will try and reach a settlement between you and your employer.

Do I have to raise a grievance first before making a employment tribunal claim? toggle accordion

You don't have to raise a formal grievance before making a claim to an employment tribunal. However, if you don't raise a grievance first, the tribunal may reduce the amount of any compensation they award you, unless you had a good reason.

Our no win, no fee arrangement

We have a no win, no fee arrangement available, which is known as a Damage Based Agreement (DBA). A DBA is where the payment of our fees depends upon the success of the claim. This means that if the case is won or settlement terms are agreed, we would be paid by taking a percentage of the compensation that you are awarded. We are one of the only employment law firms in the UK to offer Damaged Based Agreements (DBAs) for all types of claimant employment cases.

Are there other fees?

Disclaimer

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.
