Employment Claims

What are employment claims?

It means you as an employee claim to an employment tribunal due to an unlawful treatment at work, such as: 

• Unfair dismissal
• Discrimination
• Unfair deductions from your pay

If you wish to make a claim, you must first notify ACAS, who will then offer you an early conciliation service. If this early conciliation ended without an agreement, ACAS will issue you a certificate that you must take to a tribunal.

 There is a strict time limit for you to claim to an employment tribunal—usually within three months of the end of your employment/or when the problem you are dealing with has occurred. To begin the steps to an employment tribunal, you must first fill out the ET1 claim form to your employer. You must keep note of exactly what happened and when for you to make your claim verifiable and persuasive.

How can Sharper Labs Legal Team help?

Employment tribunals can often be expensive, but some of them can be funded by Legal Expense Insurance (LEI).

Sharper-Labs strives to offer the maximum cost-efficient and time-efficient solutions. However, when all early conciliation measures end unresolved, which is sometimes inevitable, Sharper-Labs will continue to support you through the tribunal process. This will include: informing you of the procedure, possible outcomes, likely costs, advising you on strategies and representing you at the tribunal.

Preparing documents such as the ET1 claim form, and any other evidence or statements for the tribunal can be a very daunting process. To make sure your case is properly heard, Sharper-Labs will ensure that you are prepared. We can also help you to check if LEI is available for you, and take the necessary steps to access it.
