When is the deadline for employment tribunal claim (unfair dismissal and most claims)?
The catalogue records a 3 months period from the effective date of termination (or the act complained of). This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 3 months
- Trigger
- the effective date of termination (or the act complained of)
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- ACAS early conciliation stops the clock; the maximum EC period is twelve weeks for notifications on or after 1 December 2025, with at least one month from the EC certificate to lodge. The full computation, including the extension, runs in the Employment Tribunal calculator on this site.
