Early intervention can save significant resources

It‘s better to provide too much than too little information to your legal advisers

Keep good records

My employer has treated me unfairly, can they do this?
It depends; what is unfair, or what might seem unfair, is not always unlawful. It’s important to speak to an employment lawyer and collate all relevant documents to help them advise you on your rights.

An employee has resigned, can they still claim for unfair dismissal?
There is the possibility that an employee can make a claim of constructive dismissal. The employee will need to show their employment contract has been breached in a serious way and that they have resigned in response to such breach.

How long does an employment tribunal claim take to conclude?
Though it depends on the type of claim, it may take 12 months from start to finish. Due to Covid-19 and associated changes the time between starting a claim and receiving a decision from the Tribunal may be even longer than 12 months.
