Daniel returns from two weeks at sea to a double edition covering the biggest shake-up in workplace procedures for a generation: the draft new Acas Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures, the first full rewrite since 2009. Informal resolution, new letter requirements, a necessity test for suspension, and worker terminology throughout. Plus electronic balloting for union votes arriving on 25 August, key consultation deadlines, and an unexpected encounter with Elaine Paige.
