Unfair dismissal in the UK isn't the end — it's often your bargaining chip

Your employer wants you to "quietly disappear"

They pressure you to resign, suspend you without pay, deduct from your wages, "lose" your holiday, or dismiss you "for misconduct" without any process. Once you sign a resignation or a settlement — you lose your claims.

The law is on your side — if you act in time

The Employment Tribunal charges no fees. You can claim compensation for unfair dismissal, discrimination (no cap!), unlawful wage deductions and unpaid holiday. You just need to act within the deadline.

The statistics are unforgiving: most lost cases are lost on timing and procedure — not on the merits. Both are things you can master in one evening.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to bring a claim?

Standardly 3 months minus 1 day from the date of the event / last working day (EDT). Contacting ACAS Early Conciliation stops the clock (s.207B ERA 1996), and after the certificate you always have at least 1 month to file the ET1 form. Check your exact date in our free calculator.

Does filing at the Employment Tribunal cost anything?

No. Bringing a claim to the Employment Tribunal is free. You only pay for our documents and analysis, if you use them.

What is ACAS Early Conciliation?

A mandatory step before almost every claim: you report your case to ACAS (free, online) and a conciliator tries to settle it. Important: contacting ACAS stops the deadline clock. If you intend to claim — start right away at acas.org.uk.

My employer made me sign a resignation / settlement. Do I have to?

No. If you resign "voluntarily" or sign a settlement without understanding the consequences, you lose your claims. Before you sign anything — ask for time and check your rights. Settlements require the signature of an independent adviser (s.203 ERA), and the cost of advice is often covered by the employer.

Is my data safe?

Yes. You send documents directly to our email address and payments are handled by Stripe (a certified processor). We don't store data on any third-party servers and we never share it. Please note: what you write is not legally privileged — don't send more personal data than necessary.

Is this formal legal advice?

This is legal information and documents, not formal advice or representation. Where the law requires a lawyer's signature (e.g. settlement agreements) — we'll tell you and help you find a solicitor. The exact deadline and the strength of your claim can ultimately only be confirmed by a tribunal or a law firm.

Thank you! What's next?

You receive your documents within the stated time (48–72 h). If we miss the deadline — 100% refund. If your case requires a solicitor's signature (settlement, s.203 ERA) — we'll tell you and help you find a lawyer.

Briefly describe your situation (no personal data) — we reply within 24 h. After buying a package we'll send you exact instructions on how to share the details of your case.
