The
revised draft Acas Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance procedures
has been put before Parliament and, subject to parliamentary approval, is due
to come into effect on 1 October 2004.
The code
has been revised to take account of the new statutory discipline and grievance
procedures which come into operation on 1 October 2004. As well as giving
practical guidance on the statutory procedures the code also advises on:
●
What counts as reasonable behaviour when dealing with disciplinary and grievance
issues
●
Producing and using disciplinary and grievance procedures for your own
workplace
●
A worker’s right to bring a companion to grievance and disciplinary hearings.
