Is there a time limit for bringing an unfair dismissal claim?

Yes – you do not have long. If we believe you have a good claim then there is a deadline for the paperwork to support the claim to be filed with the Employment Tribunal. The Employment Tribunal is a special court dealing with employment law problems.

The deadline is just three months from the 'effective date of termination' of your employment. This is the date your notice period expires or your last working day (where you were not given any notice period).

The earlier you take your Free First Step to legal advice the more likely we are to be able to help you bring a claim for being unfairly sacked.
