It is not a mandatory requirement for employers to have a disciplinary policy in place, but it can be extremely helpful when dealing with disciplinary matters as it sets out what is expected of the employee and employer in these situations. It is crucial that all disciplinary policies incorporate the provisions of the Acas Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures as a minimum:

For a compliant policy please see:
