Employment tribunals serve different regions, and hearings may take place at a nearby hearing centre or online, depending on the case. Check the official GOV.UK employment tribunals guidance for hearing locations, procedures and how to submit a claim. In most cases, you must contact Acas for Early Conciliation before bringing a claim, and strict time limits usually apply—often three months minus one day from the relevant event. A solicitor regulated by the SRA or an employment advice service can help you assess your position and protect the deadline.
