This is general guidance, not legal advice. Before you do anything, it's worth speaking with ACAS (0300 123 1100) or a solicitor who has the full picture.

First things first

How would you like us to talk to you?

People come to this in very different states. There's no wrong answer.

✓
🎯
Straight talking
Just tell me where I stand. Facts, options, what to do next. No padding.
✓
⚖️
Clear and measured
Practical, with enough context to understand what's happening and why.
✓
🤝
Take your time
This has been hard. I need someone who gets that, as well as the law.
Your job

A bit about your situation

Employment law can turn on details that seem small. The more accurately you answer this, the more useful we can be.

Yes, written and signed
Verbal agreement only
No contract or not sure

Not having a written contract doesn't mean you have no rights. Statutory protections apply regardless.

Length of service affects which rights apply, particularly around unfair dismissal.

Disability / long-term health condition
Pregnancy or maternity
Race or ethnicity
Religion or belief
Age (over 50 or under 25)
Gender or gender identity
Sexual orientation
I raised a workplace concern (whistleblowing)
None of these / prefer not to say
Timing

When did this happen?

Employment tribunal claims have strict time limits — often just three months. Knowing when things happened is one of the first things we need to check.

🚨
Within the last 3 months
You may be approaching the tribunal deadline. This needs looking at quickly.
Time-sensitive
⚠️
3 to 6 months ago
The standard deadline may already have passed. We'll check what's still open to you.
Check deadlines now
📅
6 to 12 months ago
Some routes may still be available depending on the specifics of your case.
📆
Over a year ago
Fewer options at this stage, but not always none. Worth going through what still applies.
🔄
It's still happening
An ongoing situation — you're still being treated this way, or a process is still live.
What happened

What has your employer done?

Select everything that applies. We'll ask a few follow-up questions to get a clearer picture.

✓
🚫
I was dismissed
Sacked, let go, or told my employment is ending.
✓
📋
Dismissed during probation
Let go for not meeting probationary standards.
✓
📉
Made redundant
My role has been cut or the business is reducing headcount.
✓
🚪
I felt forced to resign
The situation became so difficult I had little real choice but to leave.
✓
⚡
Discrimination
Treated less favourably because of who I am.
✓
🛡️
Bullying or harassment
Behaviour that has affected my work or my health.

⚖️
Limited options at this stage

Your situation is difficult — but you should know exactly why

Employment law is changing. The Employment Rights Bill (2024–25) is working its way through Parliament and may significantly extend protections — including for shorter-service employees and those in probation. It's worth checking where things stand before concluding the door is fully closed. Follow the bill's progress →
Worth looking into

Tell us what happened

Based on what you've told us, there are routes worth exploring. Write out what happened in your own words — this is the foundation of everything that follows.

Possible areas to look at

1
Start from the beginning
When did you start, what was your role, and when did things start going wrong?
2
Key events, roughly in order
What happened, when, and who was involved? Dates help where you can remember them.
3
What was said or done
Letters, emails, meetings, or comments that felt wrong — or that you think might be relevant.
4
How it's affected you
The financial, health, and personal impact. This matters both legally and in terms of any remedy.
