05/06/2009New ACAS Code of Practice (Discipline & Grievance)

The way discipline and grievance is handled in the workplace changed on 6 April 2009.

The emphasis is now on solving problems early on with a minimum of cost and formality.
The good practice advice set out in the new Acas Code of Practice should always be followed to ensure fairness and where an employer unreasonably fails to follow this, any compensation awarded by the tribunal could be increased by up to 25 per cent.
It is important that employees, managers and HR professionals understand the rules and procedures for dealing with discipline and grievance matters in the workplace.

Acas wrote the code on discipline and grievance procedures. Employers will benefit from first hand interpretation and explanation of what the new code means for organisations of all types.
Acas trainers draw upon decades of Acas experience in handling disputes, grievance and conflict within the workplace.
