Should I speak to an employment solicitor about making a workplace harassment claim?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

An employment solicitor can help assess whether the conduct may amount to harassment under the Equality Act 2010, particularly if it relates to a protected characteristic, and explain your options. Keep records of incidents, messages, witnesses and any grievance or employer response, as these may be relevant evidence. Employment Tribunal claims usually have a short time limit, commonly three months less one day from the relevant incident, although ACAS Early Conciliation can affect the deadline. Consider speaking to a solicitor regulated by the SRA or contacting ACAS promptly, as the outcome depends on the facts and available evidence.
