Unfair Dismissal

[leejamie82]

I have been dismissed by a company for something I didnt do - the dismissal date was 26th september. The company dragged out the internal appeal, and finally made a decision on the 24th december - 1 day before the deadline for appealing via tribunal. They did not follow procedures correctly throughout the whole investigation, and did not investigate the points raised at the appeal meeting sufficiently.
Is there anything I can do now as the 3 months deadline has past?
Cheers
J

You may well be able to do something and probably have 3 months from the date of the appeal outcome as you have to go through all the proper appeal procedures first.

ACAS have a really good helpline on 08457 47 47 47 - Monday - Friday 08:00 - 18:00. They will give you some advice and then you could go to your citizens advice bureau.
