Expert Legal Support for Grievances and Disciplinaries

Our expert team of experienced Employment Law Solicitors will work with you to ensure your company follows the correct process and procedures needed when dealing with disciplinary hearings and grievances.

Grievances and disciplinaries often come hand in hand in the sense that it’s not uncommon for a grievance from one employee to lead to a disciplinary hearing and potential disciplinary action of another employee.

As a business, there’s a right way and a wrong way to deal with both situations and they both need to be handled with care to avoid any potential legal repercussions. Our team of expert Employment Law Solicitors can help you with that.

Disciplinary hearings are held after an investigation has taken place after an incident has occurred involving an employee of the company. If you’re dealing with a disciplinary hearing or a situation that has arisen from one, you should receive some professional advice on how to navigate the situation and plan for similar occurrences in the future. Our team can help you do exactly that.

Handling Disciplinaries and Grievances FAQs

What is the difference between disciplinaries and grievances?

Grievances are complaints made by employees of a business to their employer in the hope of having the situation resolved. A grievance hearing can be held to allow the employer to better understand the complaint made, and for them to agree a way forward with the employee to resolve the issue at hand.

Disciplinary hearings are held to consider an act of misconduct by an employee, usually after an investigation has been carried out.  Following the hearing, the employer can conclude whether or not they believe the employee is ‘guilty’ of the alleged misconduct and decide on what disciplinary action, if any, is appropriate in the circumstances.
