Check the time limits for bringing employment tribunal claims
Key points
There are relatively short time limits for bringing a claim to an employment tribunal. Different time limits apply for different types of claim.
Where relevant, time limits are extended to enable early conciliation to take place.
Employment tribunals have some discretion to extend time limits, but this discretion is subject to significant limitations. If a claimant misses the deadline for submitting a claim, it is unlikely that they will be able to pursue it.
