The revised ACAS Code of Practice applies from the 6th April and replaces the statutory dispute resolution procedures and will become the keystone of discipline and grievance matters. The emphasis is on resolving issues in the workplace. It is not legally binding and a failure to follow it will not make any dismissal arising out of a disciplinary matter automatically unfair.
Employers need to review their existing discipline and grievance policies and train staff on the impact of the new regime.
Employers need to be aware that where there has been an unreasonable failure to follow the code (by employer or employee), a tribunal can adjust any compensation awarded by up to 25% if it considers it just and equitable to do so in all the circumstances.
If you require any support in drafting your new policies, or support when you need to implement the procedures please call Stonebridge HR Consultants for support.

From 6 April 2009 the right to request flexible working is extended to parents of children aged 16 years and under. Previously, the right was restricted to parents of children under six (or disabled children under 18 years), and carers of adult (18 years plus) dependants.
