Pre-claim mediation

The JIB may also be called upon to mediate on claims as a pre-emptive measure ie prior to the case being placed into the JIB Disputes Procedure but this is entirely dependent upon the nature of the case. In line with the acas Code the JIB also offers Pre-claim mediation. Again this is covered within National Working Rules 19 and 20. In essence however it is still the operative’s responsibility to lodge their claim with the JIB and/or the Employment Tribunal.
