Employment Tribunal Time Limits

Time limits in Tribunal claims are usually short and strictly enforced.

In most cases, you are required to commence Early Acas Conciliation before you can present your Employment Tribunal Claim.

The start and end dates of Early Acas Conciliation impact how the time limit for claims is calculated, please read this article carefully – you should calculate your time limit manually, even if you use a calculator to help you.

Two key things to highlight are:

  1. Be aware of the “normal” or Primary Limitation Period, which is the time between the act you complain of and the time you must commence Early Acas Conciliation.
  2. If you have completed Early Acas Conciliation already, you are able to calculate the “limitation date,” which is the deadline to submit your Employment Tribunal Claim. The dates that Early Acas Conciliation started and ended will be on the certificate that was emailed to you by Acas.

Please note, the Calculator presumes the normal/Primary Limitation Period is 3 months less 1 calendar day, which is the most common time limit. However, the time limit may vary, and either way, you are urged to take advice to confirm the correct limitation date for any claim you wish to pursue.

Some examples of time limits (when you need to commence Early Acas Conciliation) are:

Unfair Dismissal – 3 months less 1 calendar day from the effective date of termination (which is the date the employment ends).

Discrimination – 3 months less 1 calendar day from the discriminatory act complained of.

Redundancy Payment – 6 months starting with the relevant date (if you are also claiming unfair dismissal, you should go with the earlier 3 months less 1 calendar day, time limit.

Equal Pay – 6 months from the termination date

“An exceptional Barrister I would highly recommend. Great communication throughout the whole journey. Clear and concise at every stage of the process”

- Lynne

“Earlier this year I had a situation where my ex employer refused to pay what was owed after leaving the employment. The sum owed was in the region of £5000 and I was recommended Blair Toner. From the very first introduction and conversation of the problem, Blair guided me through the process of ‘Small Claims’ and linked me with the necessary forms etc. After winning judgement, still no payment happened. Blair then guided me through the process of appointing Court Baliffs and that resulted in the debt being paid in full. I personally would recommend Toner Legal and in fact Blair has since sorted a similar problem my son had experienced to my son’s total satisfaction.”

Alan Edward Goodes

“I have instructed Blair Toner in a wide range of employment matters. Having witnessed Blair in action at the employment tribunal, I have first-hand experience of his abilities and skills. His attention to detail and knowledge of the minutest details of the legislation is most impressive, and is what makes him stand out as one of the best advocates I have instructed.”

“An exceptional Barrister I would highly recommend. Great communication throughout the whole journey. Clear and concise at every stage of the process.”

“Toner Legal guided me through a difficult situation at work. I was very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend this company. I was always kept up to date with the progress of my case and the approach taken was both professional and personable. I could not have got the same result without them.”
