This includes cases about things like unfair dismissal, redundancy and discrimination. There are also many other sorts of claim that can be brought. If you have a problem with your employer that you want to take to an employment tribunal, it is called making a claim.
Whether you can make a claim depends on what your problem is about and whether you meet certain conditions, for example, about time limits. Usually, you also have three months less one day from when the event happened to make a claim to the tribunal. You should try to get as much information about your legal rights as possible first. You can do this online, for example through the Employment information on this website. Or you can speak to an adviser or representative.

In most cases, you must contact Acas the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service to start early conciliation before you can make a claim to an employment tribunal. If you have notified Acas and conciliation fails or you do not want to take part in it, and you meet the conditions to make a claim, you then have to decide whether you want to make a claim.
It is helpful to know how strong your claim is but assessing this can be quite difficult. If you have an adviser or representative, they will usually first decide whether you have a possible claim, whether you meet the conditions to make the claim and what evidence you have. Later on, they will look at how strong or weak your claim is, when they've seen what your employer has to say and what evidence your employer has. So it can take some time before your adviser or representative is able to weigh up your chances of success.
When you're looking at your claim, try to think honestly about what evidence you have to back up your arguments, and what evidence your employer might have to back up theirs. You should also be aware that tribunals can be unpredictable in their decisions, or that there might be evidence you haven't thought about. So even if you appear to have a strong case, there's no guarantee you will win. But it's a good idea to think about how strong your case is as this can help you decide whether or not you want to make a claim and whether you want to settle your case before you get to tribunal.
