There are changes to the Employment Tribunal Service coming into effect from April 6th 2014. Any employee thinking of making an Employment Tribunal claim will need to notify Acas first. Acas will be offering a new free service called Early Conciliation to try to resolve the dispute quickly without the need for legal action. This will allow an extra month to attempt to resolve the dispute before employees hit the deadline for making their claim.

Early Conciliation will be able to help resolve the majority of workplace disputes which may lead to an employment tribunal, including:

• unfair dismissal claims
• workplace discrimination
• redundancy payments or disputes around selection procedures
• deductions from wages or unpaid notice/holiday pay
• rights to time off or flexible working
• equal pay.
