How long does an employee have to commence a discrimination claim?

How long does an employee have to commence a discrimination claim?

The general rule is that an employee who believes that they have been discriminated against has 3 months from the date of the alleged discriminatory act to submit a claim to the employment tribunal. If the act is part of a series of related acts, the employee has 3 months from the date of the last act to submit a claim.

The tribunal can extend the 3 month period for bringing a discrimination claim if it feels that it is just and equitable to do so.
