Guidance

The ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures (current version effective as at 11 March 2015) is in place in order to help employers, employees and their representatives effectively deal with disciplinary and grievance procedures. Employment tribunals will employ the Code in order to assess whether a dismissal for performance and / or misconduct was fair or unfair. Compliance or non-compliance of either party with the provisions of the Code may also lead in an adjustment in eventual compensation awarded by a tribunal of up to 25%.

The Code of Practice applies to any:

•
disciplinary action taken by an employer
•
grievance brought by an employee

In any proceedings before a tribunal, court or the Central Arbitration Committee:

•
the Code is admissible in evidence where the dispute reaches the courts
