Employment tribunal claims - where to start

How to claim for unfair dismissal

Things to remember before claiming for unfair dismissal:

  • Keep copies of any letters you send, and written notes of meetings and telephone conversations;
  • While you are looking for a new job you may be able to claim Jobseeker's Allowance, Housing Benefit, or Council Tax Benefit.

 

What should you do if you're unfairly dismissed?

  • Before making a formal complaint for unfair dismissal you should try and resolve the dispute with your employer;
  • Appeal under your employer's dismissal, grievance or disciplinary procedures;
  • You and your employer could try conciliation through the Labour Relations Agency or Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) where a specialist helps you sort out the problem;
  • Another option is individual arbitration, which is where an independent arbitrator hears the case and makes a legally binding decision for you.

"I just had to put pen to paper and write to say I'm more than delighted with my settlement that you won me back from my PPI I had with Lloyds TSB. The Claim Forms were simple to fill in. It was a breeze"
