Questions people ask first
How long do I have to make a claim?
Three months less one day from the dismissal or last act. Starting Acas early conciliation pauses the clock. We check your exact date on the first call.
Do I have to go to a tribunal?
Most of our cases settle before a hearing. We prepare every case as if it will not.
Can I claim if I have been there less than two years?
For ordinary unfair dismissal, usually no. For discrimination, whistleblowing and some other claims, yes, from day one.
Will my employer find out I spoke to you?
Not from us. Everything you tell us is confidential.
What if I have already signed something?
Bring it. A settlement agreement is only binding if you had independent legal advice, and some clauses cannot be enforced.
Can you help if I am the employer?
Not on this page. Our small business team advises employers, and never on both sides of the same matter.
