Employee Grievance and Disciplinary Issues

As an employer, you may have to investigate an allegation of misconduct or you may have received a grievance or complaint from an employee. If you are faced with a dispute, you should ensure that everyone complies with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance procedures. Failure to do so could lead to an Employment Tribunal increasing compensation by up to 25%. In some cases, this could result in a substantial increase particularly if a claim involves an element of discrimination or harassment.

When problems arise, we will support you throughout the disciplinary and grievance process and help you make a decision that follows best practice and protects your business from a potential claim.
