Bullying and harassment at work - a guide for trade union reps

Chapter 2

Time limit

[ch 2: page 39]

A big difference between a claim under the PHA 97 and a claim in the employment tribunal is that the limitation period for a claim under the PHA 97 is six years. By contrast the time limit for an employment tribunal claim is just three months.

Any member considering a claim under the PHA 97 should take legal advice.
