It is essential for employers and employees that there is a clear and fair framework in place to deal with discipline and grievance issues when they arise.
The ACAS Code of Practice on Discipline and Grievance sets out best practice for how discipline and grievance issues should be dealt with in the workplace; and employment tribunals can adjust awards of compensation (up or down) in successful claims by up to 25 per cent to take account of any failure by an employer or an employee to follow the advice of ACAS in the Code.

In addition, when grievance issues arise, we can refer third party impartial mediation services to you and your employer to try to resolve problems in the workplace without having to take any further action. Mediation is recommended in the ACAS Code of Practice, so taking part in mediation can help you to show that you have complied with the Code if you need to in any subsequent claim.
