If you believe you have been unlawfully discriminated against by your employer, or a worker employed by them or their agent, in a work situation, what can you do about it? Or if you have applied for a job (or been stopped from applying) and believe you have been unlawfully discriminated against during the application process, what can you do about it?

Read all pages within this section before you decide what to do, so you know all the options you have.

It is especially important that you work out when the last day is that you can tell the Employment Tribunal about your complaint, so that you don’t miss that deadline, even if you are trying to work things out with your employer first.
