The Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill, laid in Parliament in May 2012, contained a number of proposed employment law changes, including the introduction from April 2014 of a new 'Early Conciliation' service under which all claims relating to alleged infringements of individual employment rights will come to Acas in the first instance, rather than the Tribunals Service. Acas will then have a short window of opportunity (up to a month) to try to help to resolve the issue before the needs to apply to a Tribunal.
