If your case is one that can be pursued to a Civil Service Appeals Board or an employment tribunal then PCS may continue to represent you depending on the circumstance of the case.

You should note that it is your responsibility to ensure that a claim is submitted in time.

For most cases the time limit for submitting an application is 3 months less one day of the date of the cause of the complaint.

Your representative will be able to give you guidance on when time limits begin to run, and you should seek assistance as early as possible to ensure that time limits are met.

If you feel that you have a case that could go to an employment tribunal then you should advise your representative at once.

Your representative will be able to get advice from their full time officer or the legal and personal case department.

It is important to take advice before taking drastic action such as resigning and claiming constructive dismissal to a Tribunal.

This is often not the best course of action, as such cases do not have a high success rate
