ACAS Early Conciliation

ACAS Early Conciliation

From 6 May 2014 any employee wanting to bring a Tribunal claim will first have to contact ACAS and go through early conciliation. When they contact ACAS they will fill in a form giving the details of who should be contacted at the employer company. ACAS realise that in some cases employees might not give the appropriate name, for example, giving their line manager when HR should be contacted. To deal with this ACAS are setting up a National Contacts List so that, whoever is named on the form, the person on the contacts list will be the person ACAS get in touch with for the entire organisation.
 
If this is something which is appropriate for your business you just need to e-mail ECcontactslist@acas.org.uk giving the name of the nominated person and their telephone number.
