Disciplinary and Grievance Issues

Employees who are accused of misconduct or poor performance in the workplace may be subjected to disciplinary procedures.  Often employees complain that this not justified and we can help you in defending yourself or securing a lesser sanction than dismissal. 

Disciplinary proceedings can result in summary dismissal in gross misconduct cases, leaving you without an income and damaging your prospects of gaining future employment.  So it’s vital that these sorts of cases are handled in the right way and that you’re given full tactical advice.  Grievance procedures can allow the informal resolution of workplace disputes, but sometimes are not handled correctly and employees’ complaints are not taken seriously.  We can help you to put forward the strongest case in your grievance to make sure your employer deals with the situation fairly.
