Employment Tribunal Claims

Things do go wrong at work and unfortunately you may have to enforce your rights at the Employment Tribunal.

The claim you make is normally against your employer, or former employer. However, you can also make a claim against your managers or colleagues, where they have been responsible for an act of discrimination.

There are strict deadlines for issuing Employment Tribunal proceedings. Once a claim has been made, you will be expected to comply with the Employment Tribunal procedural rules, and with any orders that are made.

If your claim is for discrimination or whistleblowing, then at an early stage, it is likely the Employment Tribunal shall list your case for preliminary hearing.
