Employment rights
Early conciliation
The step you must normally take before making an employment tribunal claim: notifying Acas, who then try to help both sides settle without a hearing.
A plain-English explanation of how this usually works in the UK, not legal advice. Rules change, so check your own situation. For free, impartial advice on work rights, try Acas. Disclaimer.
