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

“I’m a 29 year old female who had never needed a lawyer before, so I was totally out of my depth! Blair was amazing – he answered every call and email immediately, he explained everything in terms I could understand, and he made me feel calm and at ease during a stressful time. I was really happy with the outcome and I’d definitely recommend him to everyone.”

“Blair Toner is an outstanding employment law resource. I have instructed him in every type of employment tribunal hearing and am always impressed by his level of preparation and service offered.”

- Chris Cook, Head of Employment, Partner.

“I found Toner Legal while doing a google search and approached them in regards to a work related matter. I was put in touch with Adam Cooke who was a senior solicitor and Adam listened to my issue and advised the best way of dealing with this matter. Adam was very clear, honest and supportive with the advice he provided which in result got me a better resolution to the issue I had. The fees were very reasonable compared to other firms out there asking a lot more. I would not hesitate to recommend Toner Legal to anyone for any work related issues especially Adam. Really happy with the service.”

“We have worked with Toner Legal since day one of our start-up journey. Their support and expertise has been invaluable. Taking a proactive approach to employment law and our team makes complete sense, it is of course hard and not something to manage without support. Toner Legal’s advice and support has always kept us on the right track.”

- Callum Murray, Founder / CEO

“Mr Toner provided me with an outstanding service throughout my long and difficult case. Always available to communicate with, he never ceased to amaze me with not only his extensive legal knowledge but also his patience/ ability to translate it into easily understandable English. To quote the opposing Barrister at the opening of my cross examination she described our Witness Statement as ‘forensic’ – needless to say we had a very successful outcome. If I had to sum up Mr Toner’s service in just one word – Outstanding – would be the only word I would need. I always felt he was at least one step ahead of the opposition and in the end that proved to be the case. Thank you Mr Toner.”
