ACAS
Workplace conflicts can be challenging to navigate. That’s why we often recommend turning to ACAS (Advisory, Conciliation, and Arbitration Service) as a valuable resource for resolving employment disputes.
What you Need to Know
ACAS is an independent public body in the United Kingdom that provides free and impartial advice to employees and employers on a wide range of employment-related matters.
Their goal is to promote good employment practices, prevent disputes and facilitate the resolution of conflicts when they do arise.
How Can ACAS Help You?
Early Conciliation
One of ACAS’s primary functions is to offer early conciliation services.
When you’re facing an employment dispute, whether it’s related to unfair dismissal, discrimination or other issues, ACAS can step in to help you resolve the matter before it escalates to an Employment Tribunal.
Here’s how it works:
- You or your employer initiates the early conciliation process by contacting ACAS.
- ACAS assigns a conciliator to your case, who will act as a neutral third party.
- The conciliator will work with both parties to explore potential solutions and reach an agreement.
- The process is entirely voluntary, and either party can choose to end it at any time.
- If an agreement is reached, it is legally binding, preventing the need for further legal action.
Advice and Guidance
ACAS offers a wealth of information and guidance on employment-related topics. Whether you’re an employer seeking advice on best practices, or an employee looking to understand your rights, ACAS provides:
- Detailed guides and publications on various employment issues.
- Templates for employment documents, such as disciplinary and grievance procedures.
- Access to webinars and training resources to enhance your knowledge of employment law.
- A helpline for individuals seeking specific advice and information.
