Our 72 Hour Return Policy*
We endeavour to make an initial response to all enquiries within 24 hours but please be aware that on some occasions due to prior commitments or volume of calls we will not be able to respond in that time frame. We also operate a 72 hour return policy. This return policy means that if we have not responded with 72 hours of your initial enquiry we are unable to do so due to current workloads and we will destroy your data accordingly. This policy ensures you are not left waiting and have the certainty that your data is not compromised. In most instances however we are able to make contact within a 24 hour time frame. Please note our free initial advice service is available to clients at our total discretion and if your case is of a complex nature we may not be able to offer you a free consultation. However in these instances we will advise you what the charge would be for an initial fixed fee consultation.
This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

The anticipated Employment Tribunals (Early Conciliation: Exemptions and Rules of Procedures) have been published and confirm that Early Conciliation will come into force on 6th April 2014

The new legislation means that individuals who wish to bring a claim against their employer in an Employment Tribunal will first need to contact ACAS. It is however worth noting that there is no obligation under the rules to actually par take in conciliation.

Watch this space for further updates or for a more detailed understanding of the new rules why not book a space at the next Astons Employment Law Seminar in May. For full details on the Seminar please email sda@astonssolicitors.co.uk
