Discipline and misconduct

This section assists you to manage such situations as poor performance, misconduct, misconduct outside work or harassment/bullying. As the penalites for getting this wrong can be very costly, do follow our guides carefully!

For dismissal situations arising on or after 6 April 2009, the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures should be complied with. Whilst failure to follow the Code does not, in itself, make an employer liable to proceedings, employment tribunals will take it into account and may adjust any award by up to 25% for unreasonable failure (by either employer or employee) to comply with any provision in it.
