Changes in Disciplinary Procedures / Legislation

30/3/2009

In April 2009 the current ‘statutory dismissal procedure' will be repealed (Hurray!!)

Employment Tribunals will decide cases on the basis of what is ‘fair and reasonable' and a revised ACAS Code of Practice. 

Employment tribunals will have discretionary powers to adjust awards by up to 25% if an employee or employer has acted unreasonably in not following the principles in the new ACAS Code.

We have attached a summary of the changes - which may actually make life easier for employers!!
