Tribunal Time Limits
Tribunal Time Limits Will Be Increased From 3 to 6 Months
Tribunal Time Limits for raising tribunal claims will be increased from 3 months to 6 months.
Proposed Changes
This page was first published on 21 August 2024, updates will be made as more information is released.
Currently employees have three months to bring most claims before an employment tribunal. Labour intends to increase the time limit to six months. The extension would bring the time limit in line with statutory redundancy and equal pay claims.
Timescales
Given the potential impact of this change, we expect that consultation will take place before any changes are implemented.
Top Tips
