HR News Update – 17,000 used Acas’ Early Conciliation service

HR News Update – 17,000 used Acas’ Early Conciliation service

Workplace expert, Acas, has published its first quarterly update on Early Conciliation which shows that 17,145 people have used the new service from 6 April till the end of June 2014.

Earlier this year, the law changed so that anyone thinking of making an Employment Tribunal claim had to contact Acas first. Acas then tries to resolve the dispute quickly without the need for legal action through its new free Early Conciliation service. The statistics published today show that the service has already had a successful start. Around 1000 people contacted Acas about Early Conciliation each week during April and this increased to 1,600 people a week during May and June.

Acas Chief Executive, Anne Sharp, said: “Early Conciliation has got off to a good start and has given us the chance to help more people resolve their disputes early. Early Conciliation has only been running for three months and it is still too soon to give a comprehensive analysis of the full impact of our new service but early indications are very positive.”
