Acas Early Conciliation Changes

Early conciliation (EC) is a pre-claim process designed to help employers and employees resolve workplace disputes before they reach an Employment Tribunal. It’s generally initiated by the employee, who must notify Acas if they are considering bringing a claim.
Once started, an Acas conciliator contacts both parties to explore whether the dispute can be resolved informally. If no agreement is reached, Acas issues a certificate allowing the employee to proceed with a claim.
This mandatory process has been in place since 2014.
