FDF Response to Draft ACAS Code of Practice on Discipline and Grievance

FDF has responded to the publication by ACAS of the draft statutory Code of Practice on discipline and grievance which plays a central role in the new legal framework.

Employment tribunals will have to take the Code into account when considering liability in relevant cases but the terms of the Code will also have considerable significance because of the discretion being given to tribunals to adjust compensation for non-compliance with them.

Our response also contains comments on the proposed non-statutory ACAS guidance on handling discipline and grievances at work, designed to supplement the Code.
