How do I make an unpaid wages claim at an employment tribunal?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

To make an unpaid wages claim, you first need to try to resolve the issue with your employer directly. If that fails, you can submit a claim to an employment tribunal, but you must usually have completed ACAS early conciliation first. Gather all relevant evidence, such as your contract, payslips, and any correspondence with your employer. Ensure your claim is within the three-month time limit from the date the wages were due. For more specific guidance, consider consulting a solicitor regulated by the SRA or checking the official government resources on employment claims.
