FAQ
How can I make a discrimination claim?
If you have experienced discrimination at work, you need to raise your concerns with your employer. This provides your employer with an opportunity to resolve the matter internally. However, if this does not lead to a satisfactory outcome, you can raise a grievance with your employer.
If the formal grievance process is unsuccessful, you can make a claim to the Employment Tribunal. But before you go to the tribunal, you need to start the ACAS early conciliation process. Bear in mind that you have three months from the last act of discrimination to start this process.
If the employment dispute still cannot be resolved, it is at this point that you can issue a claim to the Employment Tribunal. Our employment dispute solicitors will ensure that your case is prepared.
What are the potential outcomes of a discrimination claim?
If your discrimination claim goes to court or the Employment Tribunal, you may receive compensation and a declaration of your rights. Your employer may receive recommendations to prevent discrimination from happening in the future.
If your claim is settled through negotiation, you may receive:
- An apology from your employer
- A reference
- A confidentiality agreement to protect your reputation
- A settlement agreement with more favourable compensation
