This grievance procedure is a general guide to how grievances should be handled in the workplace. All employers, irrespective of their size or resources, should have in place a procedure that sets out how grievances will be handled.

The grievance procedure is non-contractual in effect, as is usually best practice. This will enable you to deviate from the strict terms set out within it if necessary. Whilst this is not ordinarily advisable, you do have the freedom to do so.

This grievance procedure is fully compliant with the new law, effective 6th April 2009.

Included in this grievance procedure are provisions relating to:

- Purpose
- Informal Grievance
- Formal Grievance
- Process
- Appeals
- Investigation
- Right to be Accompanied
- Modified Grievance Procedure
