With the introduction of the ACAS Code of Practice this year, employers are no longer strictly required to follow a routine three step procedure when contemplating disciplining or dismissing an employee. Nevertheless the ACAS Code of Practice provides clear guidance that a reasonable procedure must be followed when considering disciplinary action against an employee.
