We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Who pays if ACAS docHubes a settlement?

If you docHubed a conciliation agreement (COT3), the respondent might have agreed to pay you some money. Contact us if you do not get paid. Acas conciliators cannot force the respondent to pay, but they can: explain your options.

What is the early conciliation compensation?

This could be a financial settlement in return for which youll agree not to go to a tribunal, or you might want your employer to agree to change the way theyre treating you. Early conciliation takes place before youve started your tribunal claim.

What is the difference between a COT3 and settlement agreement?

However, whereas a settlement agreement is more formal and requires the employee to obtain legal advice, a COT3 is through an ACAS conciliator who is neutral and will not take sides. ACAS does not advise either party on the merits of potential claims or the prospects of successfully defending those claims.

What does COT3 stand for?

A COT3 is a form of settlement agreement that records the terms of settlement of an employment tribunal claim (or potential claim, if settled before an ET1 form is filed). The terms of the COT3 agreement will reflect what has been agreed between you and your employer.

How long does a COT3 take?

The time it takes for a COT3 to be finalised depends on how much negotiation takes place between the parties involved. Once the terms are agreed, the timing of any payment will depend on what is agreed between the parties, although in practice this is often made within 14 21 days of the COT3 being signed.
