Therefore it's crucial that you have written grievance procedures. If problems do arise, these procedures should help you and your employee resolve them within the workplace. They should also ensure that you deal with employees' grievances fairly. Your rules and procedures should be set out in writing and follow the good-practice principles set out in the Acas code of practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures. Failure to meet either of these requirements may result in extra compensation for the employee if they succeed in a tribunal claim. This guide outlines what you need to put in your procedures and how to handle grievances issues in practice.
