Employment Act 2008 & ACAS Code of Practice

not sure why this isnt up here yet ... so here it is


Just to be clear the 2008 Act repeals the statutory disciplinary procedures and refers instead to the ACAS code of practice.


Employment Act 2008 (c. 24)

Acas - Code of Practice 1 - Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures


The ACAS guidance has also been upated, but this IS just guidance.

Hello,

This is a guide published recently by the Institute of Employment Rights detailing the changes being brought in by The Enterprise & Regulatory Reform Act.

Useful for understanding changes to the tribunal process.
