Unfortunately, at some point disciplinary matters and grievances are likely to arise in the workplace.
Disciplinary matters arise where, amongst other things, an employer takes action in relation to allegations of misconduct or poor performance. Grievances, on the other hand, arise where an employee has a complaint, concern or problem about any aspect their work.
We can help with any stage of the disciplinary and grievance process.
