Employment Tribunals – Protecting Your Rights in Workplace Disputes

Our expert legal team will guide you through every stage of the tribunal process, ensuring your case is strong, well-prepared, and has the best chance of success.
What Is an Employment Tribunal?
An employment tribunal is a legal hearing that resolves disputes between employees and employers. It is independent of the government and deals with cases where employees believe their employment rights have been violated.
Common claims brought before an employment tribunal include:
✔ Unfair dismissal – Being dismissed without a fair reason or due process.
✔ Constructive dismissal – Being forced to resign due to an employer’s behaviour.
✔ Workplace discrimination – Cases involving race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics.
✔ Breach of employment contract – Issues related to pay, holiday entitlement, and working conditions.
✔ Unpaid wages & redundancy disputes – Ensuring employees receive what they are owed.
Employment Tribunal Process – Step by Step
1️⃣ ACAS Early Conciliation – Before filing a claim, employees must attempt to resolve the dispute through ACAS early conciliation.
2️⃣ Filing a Tribunal Claim – If conciliation fails, a claim is submitted to the tribunal outlining the complaint.
3️⃣ Employer’s Response – Employers must submit a response (ET3 form) within 28 days.
4️⃣ Preliminary Hearing – A hearing may be scheduled to clarify legal issues before the full tribunal.
5️⃣ Final Tribunal Hearing – Both sides present their case, and a judge makes a legally binding decision.
