Dispute Resolution: Further Delay

According to a report on Croner's Human Resource Centre website, the government has warned of yet further delay before the mandatory statutory dispute resolution procedures come into force.

These procedures, which insert minimum disciplinary and grievance procedure into all contracts of employment, were introduced in Part 3 of the Employment Act 2002. They were originally expected to come into force in Spring 2003. That was put back to Spring 2004 and, according to Croner, has now been put back further until Autumn 2004.
