  • Overview

    In April 2009 the formal statutory grievance and disciplinary procedures were replaced by the new ACAS Code of Practice for Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures. Whilst much of the formality (and indeed complexity) of the old procedures has been removed, it is still important to deal with issues fairly and consistently.

    We have considerable experience of producing carefully drafted disciplinary and grievance policies, putting in place a clear process for dealing with issues. When problems arise, we frequently provide our clients with support throughout the disciplinary and grievance process, in order to ensure that their interests are protected.

    We can help you by:

    • Reviewing your disciplinary and grievance procedures to ensure that they comply with current legislation and best practice
    • Drafting new disciplinary and grievance procedures
    • Guiding you through the process of handling a grievance
    • Guiding you through the process of handling a disciplinary.
