SECTION 1.3 Non-recognised companies: Section 10 of the Employment Relations Act 1999 allows‘Companions’to accompany workers to grievance and disciplinary hearings providing they both work for the same company.Where a companion is accompanying a worker employed by another company,the law requires unpaid release to be granted by the Companion’s employer. Any changes in the ACAS Codes,or statutory rights to time off will be included in updates to this Toolkit.You can also ask your GMB Officer for up to date information and more details on any of these rights. If you wish to raise the subject of time off with your employer speak to your GMB Branch Secretary or GMB Officer first.They can advise on best practice. If you are having difficulties with getting time off,there are steps officers can take to support you,by raising your legal rights with your employer. The Advisory,Conciliation and Arbitration Service(ACAS)is an independent and impartial service to prevent and resolve disputes and build harmonious relations at work. ACAS Codes of Practice are not legally enforceable,but they can be cited as evidence at an employment tribunal and the tribunal is required to take into account any provision of the Code that appears to be relevant. ACAS Codes of Practice are available from your GMB Officer.You will also get information on them on GMB training courses. RESOURCES FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING Representatives of recognised trade unions are entitled to receive information for collective bargaining purposes as defined in section 181 of the 1992 Trade Union Labour Relations Consolidation Act.More details can be found in the ACAS Code of Practice 2 booklet on‘Disclosure of information to trade unions for collective bargaining purposes’which is available free from the ACAS website. When formulating a payclaim,you may find it useful to look at the LRD PayLine database.All GMB members have free access to this and the website contains examples of trade union agreements across all sectors.You will be able to compare your company against others in the industry on topics such as pay rates,hours,holidays etc.Contact your GMB Officer for your user id and password (www.lrd.org.uk/payline).
