PCC Service Reduces Tribunal Claims

Businesses and employees are choosing to use Acas’s Pre-Claim Conciliation (PCC) service to prevent their claims reaching the employment tribunal. Since September 2009 the amount of referrals has nearly doubled, with 8,304 overall since April 2009 (when the service was launched). The PCC service has helped avoid 5,000 tribunal claims, as stated by Acas.
