Taking a claim to an employment Tribunal

[Bounce]

Has anyone had any experiences of taking a claim to an employment tribunal ?

My current employer is allowing women to work from home, and not me or males or in general , I feel like this is discrimination and feeling of being treated unfair .

What evidence would I need to produce ?

You would have to raise a grievance first I think

As above, then on to ACAS, is my understanding of it. I had some success via ACAS as despite the employer not being interested they backed off straight away and gave me my money next day once they had a court letter through.

Can the workplace give a reason to why they won’t allow people to work from home?

You need this reason first, bring it up with HR and management.

Seeing as the above posts pretty much cover your question, now standard OcUK practice of being nosy...

Have they actually said "women can work at home but men can't" or have they said something like "the accounts team can work from home, the installation team can't" and it just happens to be one team is women and the other is men?

Above covers most of it so far.

You would first need to get in writing why you can't work from home and others can. It may be operations reasons, or your job simply doesn't "work" if your not in the office etc (could be system related etc). If you and the female in question do the same job/role then you would need to raise a grievance in line with your HR department / employee handbook etc

Go from there first - You won't get anything by jump any of these steps.
