I strongly agree with Pete on this thread: while there is a lot of guidance online, and ACAS & other sites offer useful information, the devil is in the detail - most of these sites give carefully written commentary on the requirements, but these will often have the details behind them absent. After all, while the various organisations & departments (berr – a govdotuk address - is another useful site) may have an opinion, only the tribunals, and more particularly the Employment Appeals Tribunals & other higher courts, can determine the law.
If an employer can find from ACAS, etc, that they may need to take an action to address their legal responsibilities, it is normally better to then take professional assistance in dealing with that. An alternative site for small employers (particularly in London) is available at employmentlawclinic - a dotcom site.
