Common questions
Do I need 2 years' service to claim?
Usually yes, but some dismissals are 'automatically unfair' regardless. These include pregnancy, whistleblowing, asserting statutory rights, and trade union activities.
How much compensation can I get?
The basic award is up to £21,000 (based on age and service). The compensatory award is capped at £115,115 or 52 weeks' pay, whichever is lower.
What’s the time limit to claim?
You must contact ACAS within 3 months minus 1 day of your dismissal date. This is a strict deadline. Missing it usually means losing your claim.
