What is an employment tribunal?
An employment tribunal is an independent judicial body that hears disputes between employees and employers — unfair dismissal, discrimination, unpaid wages, and more.
How long do I have to claim unfair dismissal?
You have 3 months from your dismissal date to submit a claim. Notify ACAS first for early conciliation.
Do I need a solicitor for an employment tribunal?
No. Many people represent themselves successfully. Start My Claim provides guidance and document tools to help you build your case.
What is small claims court?
Small Claims Court (County Court) resolves civil money disputes up to £10,000 — unpaid invoices, faulty goods, deposits, and contract breaches.
