Pre-claim conciliation begins on 6 April
Pre-claim early conciliation will begin on 6 April, under amendments to the Employment Tribunals Act 1996 brought in by the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013. Potential tribunal claimants will need to lodge details of the dispute with ACAS, and will then be offered early conciliation. Prospective claimants will be unable to bring their claim without a certificate from a conciliation officer that a settlement is not possible or has not been reached.
