Fees – how much will I have to pay?

Fees – how much will I have to pay? Your claim will not be accepted unless you send the correct fee or provide a remission application when you make your claim. Please note: If your claim is not accepted the time will continue to run against you in relation to the time limit which applies to making your claim. Your claim could be time barred if you submit it close to the time limit expiry and it is then not accepted because you did not include a fee or remission application. There are two fee levels depending on your claim type. Type A claims are claims which are more straightforward for the tribunal to deal with and have a lower fee than type B claims. For full details of fee levels and how to pay as well as information on how to apply for a fee remission (or fee waiver) please see our fee leaflets T435, T436 and T438 at http://hmctsformfinder.justice.gov.uk You can get paper copies of the leaflets from the employment tribunals public enquiry line (0845 795 9775) or from any local office. How soon must I make my claim to an employment tribunal? Claims to employment tribunals must be made within strict time limits. In most cases the tribunal must receive your claim within three months from the date your employment ended or when the matter you are complaining about happened. This means that if it happened on 1 March, the tribunal must receive your claim on or before 31 May. If it happened on 5 March, the tribunal must receive your claim on or before 4 June. The time limit for making an appeal to the employment tribunal depends on the type of appeal you are making. For example: an appeal against an improvement or prohibition notice must be presented within 21 days from the date of service of the notice; an appeal against a notice of underpayment issued under the National Minimum Wage Act must be made within 28 days of the service of the notice. It is important that the claim or appeal you make is presented within the appropriate time limit
