Key stages 

A claimant has three months less one day from the act complained about to speak to ACAS and then starts an employment tribunal process. In case of Redundancy and Equal pay claims, a claimant has six months less a day.

The grievance procedure does not affect these time scales and judges have only limited discretion to extend the time limit.

You need to have two years continuous employment for some claims and from start to finish, an employment tribunal claim could take several months, or a year or longer.
