We offer advice on employment law both to employers and to employees on a wide range of issues including redundancy, unfair dismissal, discrimination.
The Employment Act 2008 comes into effect in April 2009. It follows from the Gibbons Review (March 2007) which examined current employment dispute resolution and made recommendations for improvement. The previous statutory dispute resolution procedures had been widely criticised and are now repealed. Those procedures introduced too much rigidity and formality into the dispute resolution process which could be counter-productive. Their place will be taken by a revised Code of Practice for Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures published by ACAS It will be by reference to the Code that the fairness of the employer’s actions in relation to a dismissal will be judged by the Employment Tribunal.
The 2008 Act brings in further changes to employment legislation of which some of the key points are an extension of the powers of ACAS in conciliation and provisions to ‘beef up’ enforcement of the minimum wage.
