ACAS CODE OF PRACTICE ON DISCIPLINARY AND GRIEVANCE

The ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures provides a guide for “expected” practice which employers should follow. This code can be referred to in tribunal proceedings and the tribunal has the power to award an increase of up to 25% on any compensatory award where the employer has unreasonably failed to follow the ACAS Code. The Code can be found and downloaded from the ACAS website: www.acas.org.uk.
