The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has plans to simplify the process for employees to raise grievances against (a) their employer and (b) fellow staff.

Answered by Justin Madders

The Acas statutory Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures provides basic practical guidance to employers, employees and their representatives and sets out principles for handling disciplinary and grievance situations in the workplace. As part of our Plan to Make Work Pay we will work with Acas to consider whether there is a need to update procedures in this area.
