A new code of practice on discipline and grievance has been announced by the advisory and conciliation service, Acas. It emphasises the need for firms to solve their differences internally rather than externally, a practice which it hopes will reduce time and cost. Minister for employment relations, Pat McFadden, said: "The new code is a key element in the government's plans to streamline and simplify the dispute resolution system to the benefit of employers and employees." Acas chief executive, John Taylor, advised businesses to act early and avoid any long-term difficulties. The government's Employment Bill is due to come into effect later this year. It hopes to "improve the effectiveness of employment law to the benefit of employers, trade unions, individuals and the public sector." In addition, it aims to bring together the government's employment relations strategy and increase projection for vulnerable workers.
