WRC Deadline Calculator

The six-month time limit for an unfair dismissal complaint runs from the date of dismissal, and the date of dismissal is fixed by notice, not by the day you were told. Enter four facts and see your statutory notice, your date of dismissal under section 1, your 6-month deadline and the 12-month outer limit. Nothing is stored; it prepares a consultation, it is not legal advice.

Mary Molloy Solicitors advise on employment law. Nothing on this page is advice on tax or on social welfare entitlements — take that advice separately. WRC procedure and time limits are strictly applied, and a late complaint is usually a lost complaint. Take advice before resigning, before signing anything, and before any deadline passes.
