Senior Employees    Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures

Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures

We advise and support employees who have been threatened with disciplinary action for alleged misconduct and/or poor performance.

If you have been invited to attend a disciplinary hearing, then your employer should follow the Statutory ACAS Code of Practice. This sets out the minimum standard. If your contract contains a procedure that is superior, then that procedure should be followed prior to any disciplinary sanction.

We also regularly assist and advise employees on pursuing a grievance in accordance with their contract of employment and/or the ACAS Code of Practice.

Although the ACAS Code of Practice is not legally binding, employment tribunals can increase compensation by up to 25 per cent if an employer has ‘unreasonably’ failed to follow the Code, or reduce compensation by up to 25 per cent if an employee fails to follow the Code.

Recent experience includes:

• Successfully representing an employee on an internal investigation relating to alleged FSA breaches;
• Advising a female client an a succession of grievance relationg to her employer's failure to accomodate the client's return to work rights;
• Assisting a Senior Executive with her grievance for discrimination/harassment against an investment bank. The grievance was upheld and we successfully negotiated a substantial settlement package; and
• Advising an employee following allegations of gross misconduct and poor performance.
