Can I make a claim?

Eligibility to make a claim depends on the type of issue you’re facing, how long you’ve been employed, and the deadlines that apply. Many claims – such as unfair dismissal or discrimination – must be brought within three months less one day of the incident or dismissal. Statutory redundancy claims can sometimes be made within six months.

Before proceeding to a tribunal, you’ll usually need to try resolving the matter directly with your employer, using grievance or disciplinary procedures, and through ACAS Early Conciliation. Our solicitors in Sale can advise you on the strength of your case, guide you through the required steps, and help you decide whether to negotiate, accept a settlement, or move forward with a formal claim.

What is an Employment Tribunal?

An Employment Tribunal is an independent body that hears disputes between employees and employers. It deals with claims such as unfair dismissal, redundancy, discrimination, equal pay, or breach of contract. The tribunal process is legally binding, and if your claim succeeds, the tribunal can award compensation or other remedies.

Hearings are overseen by an employment judge and may also include representatives with experience from both employee and employer perspectives. Some disputes can be resolved through judicial mediation before a hearing takes place. If a full hearing is necessary, our solicitors will prepare your case thoroughly and represent you throughout.

If the tribunal rules in your favour, you may receive compensation for lost earnings and damages. In rare cases, reinstatement may be ordered. Time limits are strict, which is why it’s so important to get legal advice as early as you can.
