Disciplinary

At some point you will have to deal with disciplinary matters and employee grievances. A grievance can be defined as a problem, concern, or complaint that an employee wants to raise with their employer.

All UK companies must have written disciplinary and grievance rules and procedures that comply with the ACAS Code of Practice. You should always follow these rules and procedures in order to treat your employees fairly and have the best chance of avoiding expensive and time-consuming tribunal claims. If an employee makes a successful tribunal claim and it is found that you have not followed a fair process, then the employee may be awarded additional compensation.
