What to look out for

Act quickly. Time limits for employment tribunal claims are short and strict, so get advice straight away from Acas, your union or Citizens Advice.
Never sign a settlement agreement without taking advice first.
Check your employer's disciplinary and dismissal procedure and use any internal appeal route it gives you.
Say that you remain available for work — as this letter does — as that supports a claim for wages.
Send by recorded delivery: the date of your objection can matter legally.
