What You’ll Get

This diagnostic checklist covers every requirement of the ACAS Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures. It’s not a template. It’s an audit tool.

  • 10 compliance sections covering: Policy framework and communication standards - Early intervention and informal resolution requirements - Investigation standards and evidence gathering - Notification requirements and right to be accompanied - Hearing conduct and procedural fairness - Decision-making and proportionate sanctions - Appeals process and procedural review - Suspension and precautionary measures - Record-keeping and data protection obligations - Equality, diversity, and consistency monitoring
  • Each section includes:Specific compliance requirements from the ACAS Code - Tick-box audit format (Compliant/Partial/Gap) - Action planning space for remediation - Risk assessment framework (High/Medium/Low priority) - Tribunal-defensible documentation standards
  • Why this matters: Employment tribunals assess whether employers followed the ACAS Code fairly. Non-compliance can increase compensation awards by up to 25%. This checklist identifies where your procedures fall short before a tribunal does.
