Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to bring a claim?
Generally 3 months less one day from the dismissal or act complained of. You must contact Acas for early conciliation first. Act quickly, as missing the deadline usually ends the claim.
What should I do if I'm offered a settlement agreement?
You must take independent legal advice for it to be valid, and employers usually contribute to the cost. We check the terms are fair and negotiate improvements where possible.
What counts as discrimination at work?
Unfavourable treatment because of a protected characteristic such as sex, race, disability, age or religion. We advise on whether what happened to you may be unlawful.
