Completing the Employment Tribunal Claim Form ET1

Your case is started when you (the Claimant) send your case against your Employer (the Respondent) to the Employment Tribunal Service either online or by post. Your case is called a “claim”, and you present it on the approved form which is known as the ET1 form. Your Employer responds to your claim on the ET3 response form. The claim form comes with guidance notes and everything that is marked with an asterisk must be completed. If you are completing the claim form on-line, the sections will appear in a series of screens. You can’t move to the next screen until you have completed the compulsory sections on the screen that you are on. The on-line form is not labelled as below, but the information required is the same.

You can make your claim online. Forms submitted on-line are processed much faster than those that are posted.
