Quick Question

How Long Do I Have to File a Salary Claim After Leaving My Job?

The short answer

Quick answer

Former employees generally have 6 months from their last day of employment to file a salary-related claim with TADM, while employees who are still employed can file within 1 year of the dispute arising.

Former employees generally have 6 months from their last day of employment to file a salary-related claim with TADM, while employees who are still employed can file within 1 year of the dispute arising. Missing this window means you may lose the right to bring your claim through TADM or the Employment Claims Tribunal altogether. Because the clock keeps running while you consider your options, it's best to file as soon as a salary dispute becomes clear.
