These are focused procedural checks, not a general legal guide. Open the named step to see its trigger, period, counting method and the boundary that still needs to be checked.

Pick the exact event or document

A calculator opens with the matching rule or system selected. A cited source guide stays deliberately source-first when the current model cannot faithfully generate a date.

  • ACAS Early Conciliation can alter the ordinary ET1 calculation and needs its own dates.
  • A late claim, reconsideration or appeal may use a different test or route.
