An on-line learning package to help employers to meet
forthcoming requirements for discipline and grievance procedures
was launched yesterday by Acas, the Advisory, Conciliation and
Arbitration Service.
Under the Employment Act 2002 organisations will need to meet a
statutory minimum in their discipline and grievance procedures.
Organisations need to check that they have, or implement, suitable
procedures based on good practice. The web site service aims to
help with this.
Acas an independent statutory body which exists to improve
organisations and working life through better employment
relations.
The obligations in the Act are expected to come into force during
2004.
