]]> There are strict statutory time limits under UK employment law for bringing most claims to an Employment Tribunal. In most cases, a claim must be submitted within three months minus one day from the date of the act you are complaining about (for example, the date of dismissal or discriminatory act). This statutory deadline is a minimum requirement set by law and missing it can mean your claim is rejected before it is considered on the merits.

Some claims have different time limits or calculation rules, so it’s important to check the specific deadlines that apply to your situation. Early advice helps ensure you understand the relevant statutory deadlines and take any necessary steps in time.
