As a business owner, sometimes there will be a conflict between yourself and an employee. This could be between pay or hours, but how you go about resolving the issue can be confusing.

Failure to resolve any conflicts as quickly as possible can go a long way in a claim being made against you, which could lead to an employment tribunal.

Find the safest and easiest way to resolve your workplace issue

ACAS is an independent and impartial organisation whose aims are to improve the working life of both employers, employees and to improve organisations. They've been advising the employment world for over 30 years and became a household name in the 1980s.

ACAS is an executive public body sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, which is governed by an independent council.

They provide free information, impartial advice and guidance on the rules and best practices to employers, employees, and representatives of a trade union.

In order to understand how ACAS can help your business, it's important you understand how they work.

What does ACAS stand for?

ACAS stands for Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service, which breaks down the three separate services which are used to help businesses reach suitable resolutions.

Before you fully understand how ACAS can work for your business, you need to break conciliation and arbitration service into two separate entities and learn how they can help you and your employees.

As an employer, it's important you understand the sort of problems ACAS can assist you with should they occur in your workplace. Such as:

• Dismissals such as unfair,  wrong  and  constructive .
• Discrimination ,  bullying  or  harassment .
• Disciplinary  or  grievance.

How does ACAS help with employment relations?

ACAS works to resolve  disputes , find solutions, improve performance and aims to promote good practice in all workplaces. They don't side with a particular party during employment conflicts.

Helping businesses with their employment relations means you can solve problems and improve performance moving forward.

ACAS works to avoid large-scale industrial disputes by trying to prevent problems before they arise and find suitable resolutions before they become bigger disputes.

ACAS (advisory conciliation and arbitration service) helps to enforce employment law by working with businesses of all sizes to improve the working life for both employers and workers.

They provide free and impartial guidance on the following:

• Employment rights (such as  pay  and  leave entitlements ).
• Best practices, rules and policies.
• How best to resolve  workplace conflicts .

Their main strategy is to improve organisations and avoid employment tribunals.

Conciliation is assistance provided by ACAS to employees who are looking to take a complaint against their employer to an employment tribunal.

The early stages of ACAS conciliation are used to help avoid a tribunal hearing taking place.

What's the purpose of ACAS early conciliation?

To put it simply, the main purpose of early conciliation is to avoid both sides having to go to an employment tribunal. It's used to help with individual complaints rather than on a group basis.

ACAS speaks with both parties, arranges a mediator and hopefully reaches a  settlement agreement  without having to stand up in front of an  employment tribunal .

In essence, conciliation is the last opportunity to solve the dispute before the employee's full application is made to be heard by a tribunal.

To begin the conciliation process, your employee will need to complete an Early Conciliation Notification Form - which can be found on  ACAS website .

The usual time period for conciliation to take place is a month, but it can be increased to another 14 days if required.

If the conciliation fails, ACAS will close the process and give the employee an early conciliation certificate. The certificate includes a number which must be put on the form they must fill in when making their tribunal claim.

Arbitration is when a third party is brought into a dispute to find a resolution. ACAS works with employers and employees to provide two types of arbitration. Such as:

• Collective arbitration: This is for a case between the employer and a group of employees.
• Individual arbitration: This is for a case regarding flexible working or unfair dismissal between the employer and employee.

As an employer, it's important you understand how the arbitration service works in case it's ever required in your company.

ACAS' arbitration service is in place to help create and maintain better employment relations between employer and employee.

An arbitrator is appointed by ACAS, and both sides must agree to accept their decision before the process starts. The arbitrator will arrange the hearing, which will deal with all aspects of the event.

The process of the hearing is as follows:

• Confirm the dispute they're making a decision on.
• Allow both sides to explain their case and present any evidence.
• Discuss the case and ask any questions they seem fit. 
• Allow both sides to ask questions of the other party based on the evidence presented.

The result of the hearing will be sent within 21 days for collective disputes and 14 days for individual disputes.

The ACAS code of practice is the minimum set of standards that are expected in the workplace by employers and employees. The code is used by employment tribunals when deciding on the outcome of a case.

The following are included in the code:

• Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures.
• Code of Practice on disclosure of information of trade unions for the  collective bargaining process . 
• Code of Practice on time off for trade union duties and activities. 
• Code of Practice on settlement agreements.
• Code of Practice on handling a reasonable manner request to work flexibly.

In essence, the code should be used by employers in order to run a successful organisation and avoid an independent tribunal.

Workplace conflicts are sometimes unavoidable - so if this happens in your workplace, it's important you understand where you can receive free guidance from.

ACAS (Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service) are there to help employers and employees should a conflict need resolving before the need for an employment tribunal. Their Code of Practice is in place to ensure standards are met.

What are employment tribunals?

An employment tribunal is a public body that is in place to resolve disputes between employer and employee.

Are decisions made by an employment tribunal legally binding?

Yes, even though they're not as formal as court hearings - the outcome giving by the tribunal is legally binding.

What claims does an employment tribunal deal with?

Employment tribunals deal with a range of disputes. Such as dismissal, equal pay, redundancy, and discrimination.

How can Peninsula help with employment tribunal claims?

We can help you with the entire tribunal process. This includes preparing your legal paperwork, taking witness statements, and defending you in court. Contact us today and see how we can help you.

What punishments can an employment tribunal hand down?

If an employee wins their claim, you can be given a heavy fine to pay. Not paying it can mean you're reported to the government and placed on a list that states you didn't pay the fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Problem-solving is a mental process that involves discovering, analyzing, and solving problems. The ultimate goal of problem-solving is to overcome obstacles and find a solution that best resolves the issue.

The best strategy for solving a problem depends largely on the unique situation. In some cases, people are better off learning everything they can about the issue and then using factual knowledge to come up with a solution. In other instances, creativity and insight are the best options.

It is not necessary to follow problem-solving steps sequentially, It is common to skip steps or even go back through steps multiple times until the desired solution is reached.

In order to correctly solve a problem, it is often important to follow a series of steps. Researchers sometimes refer to this as the problem-solving cycle. While this cycle is portrayed sequentially, people rarely follow a rigid series of steps to find a solution.

The following steps include developing strategies and organizing knowledge.

1. Identifying the Problem

While it may seem like an obvious step, identifying the problem is not always as simple as it sounds. In some cases, people might mistakenly identify the wrong source of a problem, which will make attempts to solve it inefficient or even useless.

Some strategies that you might use to figure out the source of a problem include :

• Asking questions about the problem
• Breaking the problem down into smaller pieces
• Looking at the problem from different perspectives
• Conducting research to figure out what relationships exist between different variables

2. Defining the Problem

After the problem has been identified, it is important to fully define the problem so that it can be solved. You can define a problem by operationally defining each aspect of the problem and setting goals for what aspects of the problem you will address

At this point, you should focus on figuring out which aspects of the problems are facts and which are opinions. State the problem clearly and identify the scope of the solution.

3. Forming a Strategy

After the problem has been identified, it is time to start brainstorming potential solutions. This step usually involves generating as many ideas as possible without judging their quality. Once several possibilities have been generated, they can be evaluated and narrowed down.

The next step is to develop a strategy to solve the problem. The approach used will vary depending upon the situation and the individual's unique preferences. Common problem-solving strategies include heuristics and algorithms.

• Heuristics are mental shortcuts that are often based on solutions that have worked in the past. They can work well if the problem is similar to something you have encountered before and are often the best choice if you need a fast solution.
• Algorithms are step-by-step strategies that are guaranteed to produce a correct result. While this approach is great for accuracy, it can also consume time and resources.

Heuristics are often best used when time is of the essence, while algorithms are a better choice when a decision needs to be as accurate as possible.

4. Organizing Information

Before coming up with a solution, you need to first organize the available information. What do you know about the problem? What do you not know? The more information that is available the better prepared you will be to come up with an accurate solution.

When approaching a problem, it is important to make sure that you have all the data you need. Making a decision without adequate information can lead to biased or inaccurate results.

5. Allocating Resources

Of course, we don't always have unlimited money, time, and other resources to solve a problem. Before you begin to solve a problem, you need to determine how high priority it is.

If it is an important problem, it is probably worth allocating more resources to solving it. If, however, it is a fairly unimportant problem, then you do not want to spend too much of your available resources on coming up with a solution.

At this stage, it is important to consider all of the factors that might affect the problem at hand. This includes looking at the available resources, deadlines that need to be met, and any possible risks involved in each solution. After careful evaluation, a decision can be made about which solution to pursue.

6. Monitoring Progress

After selecting a problem-solving strategy, it is time to put the plan into action and see if it works. This step might involve trying out different solutions to see which one is the most effective.

It is also important to monitor the situation after implementing a solution to ensure that the problem has been solved and that no new problems have arisen as a result of the proposed solution.

Effective problem-solvers tend to monitor their progress as they work towards a solution. If they are not making good progress toward reaching their goal, they will reevaluate their approach or look for new strategies .

7. Evaluating the Results

After a solution has been reached, it is important to evaluate the results to determine if it is the best possible solution to the problem. This evaluation might be immediate, such as checking the results of a math problem to ensure the answer is correct, or it can be delayed, such as evaluating the success of a therapy program after several months of treatment.

Once a problem has been solved, it is important to take some time to reflect on the process that was used and evaluate the results. This will help you to improve your problem-solving skills and become more efficient at solving future problems.

A Word From Verywell​

It is important to remember that there are many different problem-solving processes with different steps, and this is just one example. Problem-solving in real-world situations requires a great deal of resourcefulness, flexibility, resilience, and continuous interaction with the environment.

Hosted by therapist Amy Morin, LCSW, this episode of The Verywell Mind Podcast shares how you can stop dwelling in a negative mindset.

Follow Now : Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Google Podcasts

You can become a better problem solving by:

• Practicing brainstorming and coming up with multiple potential solutions to problems
• Being open-minded and considering all possible options before making a decision
• Breaking down problems into smaller, more manageable pieces
• Asking for help when needed
• Researching different problem-solving techniques and trying out new ones
• Learning from mistakes and using them as opportunities to grow

It's important to communicate openly and honestly with your partner about what's going on. Try to see things from their perspective as well as your own. Work together to find a resolution that works for both of you. Be willing to compromise and accept that there may not be a perfect solution.

Take breaks if things are getting too heated, and come back to the problem when you feel calm and collected. Don't try to fix every problem on your own—consider asking a therapist or counselor for help and insight.

If you've tried everything and there doesn't seem to be a way to fix the problem, you may have to learn to accept it. This can be difficult, but try to focus on the positive aspects of your life and remember that every situation is temporary. Don't dwell on what's going wrong—instead, think about what's going right. Find support by talking to friends or family. Seek professional help if you're having trouble coping.

The Problem Solving Cycle – An effective step-by-step approach to find viable solutions

Problem solving is a mental process that involves discovering and analyzing a particular issue, developing strategies, and organizing skills and knowledge in order to overcome obstacles and find viable solutions that best resolve the problem.

The choice of an appropriate strategy depends largely on the unique situation. In fact, there are many different problem solving processes. However, all of them consist of a series of steps. It is useful to view problem solving as a cycle as a problem often needs several attempts to be solved. In the following, we present a seven-step problem solving model:

Step 1: Identify the problem

What is the problem? The first step consists in recognizing the existence of a problem that needs to be solved. In order to find an appropriate solution, you need to identify and name the problem. While it may seem like an obvious and simple step, finding the source of a problem is often the most challenging part of the process. You may not be clear of what the problem is or feel anxious and confused about what is getting in the way of your goals. Ask questions, which help you to determine the difference between what is expected and what is occurring, like: What is the nature of this special problem? Is it temporary or longer-term? Does the problem affect other persons or only you? Will others need to be consulted? What do they know about it? What is hindering you from completing this task? Do you need more time, information or experience?

Step 2: Explore possible strategies

The next stage is to research the problem as fully as possible and to explore possible problem solving strategies. Think about the different elements of the problem by watching it from different angles. You can ask yourself questions such as: How would another person perceive the situation? What would he/she do? What were the best ideas that my competitors have had? Are there existing solutions? Explore as widely as possible, e.g. through brain storming, imaging/visualization or other creative and analytical tools in order to generate many potential solutions. List and discuss them. Then, form possible problem strategies. The next step helps you in doing this.

Step 3: Set goals

Goal setting is crucial to reach your strategic objectives. Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality. Key questions are: What is it that you want to achieve? What would it be like without the problem? What do you want things to be like instead? It is important to solve a problem at the right level. If you ask questions that are too broad, then you’ll never have enough resources to answer them effectively. If you ask questions that are too narrow, you may end up fixing the symptoms of a problem, rather than the problem itself. One effective tool to set goals at the right level is the SMART criteria.

Step 4: Look at alternatives

How many different approaches can you think of that will solve the problem? What are the pros and cons of each approach? When you have decided what your goal is you need to look for possible solutions. The more possible solutions you find the more likely it is that you will be able to discover an effective solution. You can brain-storm for ideas. The purpose of brain storming is to compile a list of possibilities. It does not matter whether the ideas are useful or practical or manageable: just write down the ideas as they come into your mind. Some of the best solutions arise from creative thinking during brain storming . You can also seek ideas about possible solutions from friends, family, a partner, a counsellor, books or the internet. The aim is to collect as many alternative solutions as possible.

Step 5: Select a possible solution

Decide which of the available options you will choose. You should be prepared to give reasons why and be able to show that this is the best of all options available. From the list of possible solutions you can sort out, which are most relevant to your situation and which are realistic and manageable. You can do this by predicting outcomes for possible solutions and also checking with other people what they think outcomes might be. When you have explored the consequences, you can use this information to identify the most relevant solution.

Step 6: Implement a possible solution

Once you have selected a possible solution put your plan into action. Create an action list, which comprises the following elements: What needs to be done and by whom? Can you chunk your plan into smaller bites? Estimate how many time, money, and effort will be needed to realize your subgoals. An essential question to motivate yourself is: What rewards you will give yourself when you have done it?

Step 7: Evaluate the result

After a solution has been reached, it is important to evaluate the results to determine if it is the best possible solution to the problem. Decide how you will quantify the success of your problem solving strategy. Questions are: How effective was that solution? Did I achieve what I wanted? How do I know this?

If the implemented strategy was successful in helping you solve your problem and reach your goal, then you know that you have effectively solved your problem. If you feel dissatisfied with the result, try alternative possibilities by beginning the problem solving cycle again.

Joint problem solving and the role of third parties: an evaluation of acas advisory work.

Ian Kessler and John Purcell, Fellows of Templeton College, Oxford, use data from a postal survey and case studies of organisations seeking in-depth advisory assistance from ACAS to evaluate the effectiveness of joint problem solving techniques. They find strong support from both managers and employee representatives for the use of joint working parties in the management of change in employment relations.

ACAS (Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service)

As an employer, there is a good chance that you will run into conflict between yourself and an employee. The reasons for the conflict could be down to several things, such as pay and working hours.

How you deal with these issues can be confusing, and if they are done incorrectly could land you in trouble.

In the article, we are going to dive into what ACAS is, how it can help employers, and how their services work.

What is ACAS?

ACAS is an independent and impartial organisation that helps to improve the working life of employers, employees and the overall organisation.

They offer free advice, information and guidance on the rules and practices for employers, employees and trade union representatives.

What does ACAS stand for?

ACAS stands for the Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service. Taking three separate services that are utilised by businesses to help them reach a suitable resolution.

To understand ACAS fully, you need to break conciliation and arbitration into separate entities and understand how they can help you and your workforce.

What issues does ACAS help with?

Employers need to understand what kinds of problems ACAS can help with if needed, this could include the following:

• Dismissals .
• Disciplinary and grievance issues
• Discrimination , harassment or bullying.

How does ACAS help enforce employment law?

ACAS was put in place to help businesses find solutions, improve organisations' performance, solve disputes, and promote good practices in workplaces. ACAS works to help employers avoid large-scale industrial disputes by preventing or solving problems before they become larger disputes, such as strikes.

Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) enforces employment law by providing free impartial guidance on:

• Best practices, rules and policies,
• Working with employees to resolve workplace conflicts.

What is conciliation?

ACAS provide Employees with conciliation assistance when employees and employers are looking to make a complaint about their employer at an employment tribunal.

What's the purpose of ACAS early conciliation?

The purpose of the ACAS early conciliation is to avoid both employers and employees going to an employment tribunal to solve their dispute.

How does ACAS conciliation work?

The main use case for conciliation is to avoid employment tribunals, this is mainly used to help individual complaints, group complaints will go through a different process.

On an individual complaint, ACAS will speak to both parties, arrange a mediator, and aim to reach a settlement agreement without the need for an employment tribunal. You could look at conciliation as the last chance to solve any issues before the employee's claim can be heard at a tribunal. Although once early conciliation period has ended, ACAS can still be involved if the parties want to continue exploring settlement options.

What is Arbitration?

An arbitration service is slightly different to conciliation, this is where a third party is brought into a dispute to help find a resolution. ACAS will work with both the employers and employees, and provide these two types of arbitration:

• Individual arbitration, for example, could be a case regarding flexible working, or an unfair dismissal.
• Collective arbitration, for example, will cover cases that involve an employer and a group of employees.

Employers need to know how arbitration services work.

How does the Arbitration service work?

ACAS's arbitration service is there to help make and maintain a better relationship between employers and employees.

Typically, the arbitrator is appointed by ACAS and each side must agree to the decision for the process to start. From here the arbitrator will put together the hearing, which will cover all the aspects of the dispute or events.

The hearing process is as follows:

• Confirm the dispute the decision needs to be made on.
• Allow all parties to explain their case and present any evidence.
• Discuss the case and answer questions related to the dispute.
• Each party is allowed to ask questions based on the evidence they have presented.

The results of the hearing are sent within 21 days for collective disputes and 14 days for individual disputes.

What is the ACAS code of practice?

The ACAS code of practice is a set of standards that are expected in the workplace by employers and employees.

The code includes the following:

• Code of Practice on disclosure of information to trade unions for collective bargaining purposes
• Code of practice on the settlement agreement.
• Amend to Code of Practice on flexible working requests
• Code of practice on time off for trade union duties and activities.
• Code of practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures.

The ACAS code of practice should be used to run an organisation successfully and avoid employment tribunals. There is a statutory code of practice, if this is not followed by the employer, it can result in an increase of the award at tribunal.

All learning experiences should encourage independent problem solving.

Children need to be given the opportunity to manipulate, explore, experiment and master the equipment or piece of material for themselves. They should also be allowed time to practise newly acquired skills and thought processes.

Focus experiences

By designing experiences that involve the children in problem solving, children learn the skills needed to solve problems for themselves and feel confident to take on new challenges. While providing an experience, the way you interact with the children allows you to focus the experience so that each child learns problem solving skills for themselves.

If children, aged four years and older, are playing together with the same material, the adult may act as a facilitator to assist and encourage the children to work collaboratively to achieve an outcome.

Ask open questions

You need to extend the child's thought processes by asking open questions or making comments that assist the child.

Examples of open questions include:

• 'I wonder what will happen if…'
• 'Can you tell me how you think it might work?'
• 'That's an interesting way to…'
• 'Just suppose we did this…then what'.

The right type of questioning is a very effective technique to enhance cognitive development. Ensure that you only ask a few at a time and that they are not onerous but are simply woven into the activity. Remember to give children ample time to answer questions. As adults, we like answers right away but children need time to gather their thoughts before speaking

UT Institute for Geophysics

Understanding the Earth and other planets to solve key problems that affect us all. The world needs geophysicists!

May 10, 2024

Postdoctoral Fellow (Carbon cycle in Arctic Permafrost)

The University of Texas Institute for Geophysics invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to study the carbon cycle in the Arctic Permafrost. UTIG, which is part of the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin, is known for research excellence, integrative science efforts and international field programs in geophysics.

Successful applicants will have expertise in multiphase flow multicomponent reactive transport in porous media, describing those processes using partial differential equations, and modeling those processes in Matlab or Python.

This individual will work with Kehua You on a recently funded NSF project. The successful candidate will develop numerical model and conduct numerical experiments to explore the source and magnitude of greenhouse gas emissions at Arctic continental shelves. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to interact with undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs and research scientists who are conducting related field work and laboratory experiments.

About the Position

Subsea permafrost was formed during past glacial periods. Sea level rise since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has flooded and warmed this permafrost, causing it to melt and release methane from the seabed. The ideal candidate will contribute to the development of an advanced multiphase multicomponent numerical simulator and conduct numerical experiments to explore the coupled thermal, hydraulic, and biogeochemical processes occurring within the thawing permafrost.

Ultimately, the successful candidate will predict transient seabed methane emissions at the Arctic continental shelves, from the LGM to 200 years from now, and predict the volume of gas emissions entering the Arctic atmosphere. Besides collaboration with a vibrant group at UT, there will be collaborations with scientists from national laboratories and other universities.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the further development of a multiphase multicomponent reactive transport numerical model for predicting carbon cycle in permafrost.
• Conduct numerical experiments to explore the coupled physics that lead to permafrost melting and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Compile and analyze Arctic environmental data for model inputs and results analysis.
