Grievance and Disciplinary Hearings

As you cannot generally bring your own lawyer to a disciplinary hearing, for those who work in non-unionised environments we offer a unique service: Executive Reps. This provides you with an experienced companion who can attend your disciplinary hearing, make representations on your behalf, and provide you with much-needed psychological support.

The way a disciplinary hearing is run varies from employer to employer and can be anything from a simple meeting to a mini-trial with the company lawyers in attendance.

Being invited to a disciplinary hearing can be a distressing situation. There is a risk that the disciplinary hearing could result in dismissal, a formal warning that the employee must improve, or some kind of sanction being taken. The right legal representation and support can make a big difference in achieving the right outcome.

Grievance Hearings

Russell Jones & Walker is able to offer advice and assistance if you have a grievance at work. This could include drafting of the initial grievance, guidance and negotiating, attendance at the hearing, helping with preparation for the hearing, analysis of the grievance response and dealing with any appeal or subsequent tribunal claim.

Unique service for representation at grievance hearings- Executive Reps

As you cannot generally bring your own lawyer to a grievance hearing, for those who work in non-unionised environments we also offer our Executive Reps service. This provides you with an experienced companion who can attend your grievance hearing, make representations on your behalf, and provide you with much-needed psychological support.

Employees who submit a grievance should be invited to a grievance hearing by their employer to discuss in more detail the complaints raised in the written grievance. This can be daunting for many employees; others see it as an opportunity to make their concerns heard.

The way grievance procedures are run varies from employer to employer and many have a formal procedure document with information on the process. The hearing can be anything from a simple meeting to a mini-trial with the company lawyers in attendance. Whatever the format, the right legal representation and support can make a crucial difference in achieving a favourable outcome.
