Early Conciliation; If you are considering making a claim against your Employer read this
- If you are thinking of making a claim against your Employer via an Employment Tribunal you must first of all complete an on line notification form to ACAS (Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service).
- Early Conciliation is not obligatory but the completion of a notification form is.
- It does not cost anything to submit the notification form, nor does the form require detailed information.
- It will not be possible to submit a claim to an Employment Tribunal without first obtaining from ACAS a certificate number after the submission of a notification form.
- You can find the online form here.
- ACAS can guide parties through the process but cannot give legal advice.
- We can assist you with conciliation, including an early evaluation of the merits of any purported claim and the likely value if successful.
- Contact us via our contact form, by sending an email to [email protected] or by calling your nearest office (numbers at the top of the page).
