It is important that your grievance and disciplinary processes are correctly mapped out in legally-compliant policies that are developed in line with the Acas Code of Practice. Having relevant and up-to-date policies and processes should enable you to deal with employee issues in-house, without the need for legal intervention.
Disciplinary & grievances
Our employment and HR lawyers can support you with reviewing your staff handbook and updating your grievance and disciplinary policies to ensure that they provide a strong framework for handling employees’ concerns relating to their employment.
Where necessary, our solicitors can provide training on the effective handling of grievance and disciplinary issues for your HR personnel and management teams, to ensure that your staff are able to follow your processes and policies appropriately and effectively.
Should a situation arise that needs to be dealt with under either of your grievance or disciplinary processes, our solicitors will provide you with process plans to guide you through the steps required to remedy the matter, remain legally compliant and reach your desired outcome as swiftly as possible. These process plans include meeting scripts and outlines, letters and guidance on the investigation processes.
If a situation escalates outside of the parameters of your grievance and disciplinary policies and additional legal support is required, our Employment team can advise you on how to alleviate any issues, protecting your business from potential tribunal claims.
Disciplinary & grievances
Our considerable HR experience and ability to perform HR processes ourselves combines the technical knowledge that you would expect from a law firm with the practical experience offered by HR agencies.
Our employment and HR solicitors regularly complete full or part investigations and hold disciplinary and appeal meetings to support senior decision-makers.
They also advise large businesses in relation to significant, multiple grievances raised against senior management teams, managers, team members and other staff. Our Employment & HR team’s accurate management of these processes has proven to help clients avoid discrimination claims and deliver favourable outcomes.
