AS OF THE 6TH APRIL 2009, EMPLOYMENT LAW CONCERNED WITH THE HANDLING OF DISCIPLINE AND GRIEVANCE SITUATIONS HAS CHANGED.
 
Up to 6th April there was a 2004 Code of Practice for Handling Discipline and Grievance as issued by the Governments Advisory, Concilliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS). THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED.
 
A new ACAS Code of Practice, to be implemented as from the 6th April 2009, is now available for download below.

To accompany the new ACAS Code there is also a very useful Guide to the Code which gives examples of how it is intended to be used. This is available for download below.
