Employment / compensation for early retirement due to bullying at work

Hi
Any recommended solicitors please for employment law etc who deal with compensation due being bullied at work. In short this was 4-5 years ago, bullying lead to PTSD, company didn't show their duty of care - really complicated so won't go into detail
Thank you

You might struggle - the employment tribunal deadline is typically 3 months from when you left.

I'd start with ACAS, but you might be disappointed as it seems a long time ago.

You might be right on the borderline of being able to consider a personal injury claim through a civil court but that is not straightforward. Any claim through an employment tribunal would be well out of time limitations.

You’re too late really OP, by a long time

I'm an employment lawyer. You don't have a claim. You would have potentially had 3 months (plus an early conciliation extension of a few weeks had you engaged in early conciliation) to bring a constructive dismissal claim (and potentially a disability claim depending on the circumstances) but you cannot bring a claim 4-5 years down the line.

I'm still there now. I have PTSD, and it's the trauma that happened at the time that's taken its toll on me.
Thank you though for your responses - it's a bit shit, to be honest I'm going to see what they offer me, had a pretty good meeting today, we shall see what they come back with!
Thanks

Just drip feeding... sorry, it's so complicated. I still have my job because I kicked up a huge fuss and they offered me both a role, and said I could take a secondment (same department - massive department so nowhere near where I was). Secondment finches soon and I'll have to do that substantive role.
I al not going into detail , it's an awful situation, they knew I was suicidal and still kept her as my line manager because she was doing a restructure and they took precedent over my welfare apparently. She phoned people I was have gun reviews with to put them off me, she made sure I was underpaid at Christmas, spitefully, and told my secondmet role I wouldn't take it, thankfully the person who took the call said too late she's already taken it. It was a fucking dreadful time, she did so many vindictive things and my employers were literally wet blankets.

... one last thing, I will need to contact a
Solicitor as it's required as part of a wider scheme at work just now, so employment lawyers info is still happily sought - thank you

As you have already been advised, it is far too late. The fact you still work there is irrelevant. You have 3 months from whenever the event you want to claim for happened. It is far too late to claim for things that happened 4-5 years ago. You can't even claim for things that happened at Christmas.
