The revised Code took effect from 11 March 2015. It confirms that employers must agree to a worker’s request to be accompanied to a disciplinary or grievance meeting by a fellow worker or a trade union representative or official. It explains that the statutory requirement for such a request to be “reasonable”, applies to the making of the request, not to the worker’s choice of companion.
