At the time of filing a complaint with an Employment Tribunal in the United Kingdom, you typically have three months less than one day from the date of the most recent instance of harassment.
This time limit is strict, and it’s important to act quickly if you wish to pursue legal action. If the harassment is ongoing, the time limit may start from the date of the most recent incident.
If you miss this deadline, it may be more difficult to pursue your claim, although there are exceptional circumstances where a tribunal may extend the time limit. Seeking legal advice as soon as possible can help ensure that you file your complaint within the required timeframe.
It’s also advisable to report the harassment internally as soon as possible and to keep records of all incidents and communications related to the harassment to support your claim.
