Section 236B, subsection (1) provides that an employment tribunal may not consider a complaint under section 236A unless it is presented within 3 months of the detriment occurring, beginning with the date of the act or failure to which the complaint relates or where that act or failure is part of a series of similar acts or failures. Alternatively, the tribunal may consider a complaint under section 236A if the tribunal is satisfied that it was not reasonably practicable for the complaint to be presented within that time period in which case the complaint must be presented within a period the tribunal considers reasonable.
	Subsection (2) provides that where an act extends over a period, the reference to the date of the act is a reference to the last day of that period and a failure to act is to be treated as done when it was decided on. Subsection (3) provides that, in the absence of evidence establishing the contrary, an employer is to be taken to decide on a failure to act when the employer does an act inconsistent with doing the failed act or when the period expires within which the employer might reasonably have been expected to do the failed act if it was done.
	Subsection (4) provides that section 292A (extension of time limits to facilitate conciliation before institution of proceedings) applies for the purposes of subsection (1)(a).
