Solicitors for grievance and disciplinary procedures
Our employment law solicitors are able to offer you the advice and assistance needed when faced with a disciplinary hearing at work. Our solicitors can assist you throughout the process, including preparing you for the hearing, analyzing your case and advising you how to respond. Our solicitors can also assist you in negotiating any termination of employment.
A disciplinary hearing can be a distressing situation as there is always the risk that the hearing could result in dismissal, a formal warning that the employee must improve, or some kind of sanction being taken. Having the support of a solicitor can make a big difference in achieving the right outcome.
Grievance Hearings
Our solicitors can offer you advice and assistance if you have a grievance at work. This could include drafting of the initial grievance, guidance and negotiating, helping with preparation for the hearing, analysis of the grievance response and dealing with any appeal or subsequent tribunal claim.
Grievance procedures vary from employer to employer and many have a formal procedure document with information on the process. The hearing can be anything from a simple meeting to a mini-trial with the company lawyers in attendance. Whatever the format, the advice and support of a solicitor can make a crucial difference in achieving a favorable outcome. An employer should follow the guidance given to it by the ACAS Code of Practice. Unreasonable failure to comply with a provision of the Code can influence a Tribunal to increase any award by up to 25%.
