  • The grievance process

    I've been involved in my company's grievance process now for 6 months, and am just entering the appeal stage.

    The original hearing was a sham, which I appealed, the director of ethics and compliance of the business's parent company ordered my grievance to be fully reheard after investigating it himself and due to the evidence I'd provided.

    In the second hearing, the evidence is absolutely overwhelming in support of what I'm saying is true, yet my grievance has been rejected again, this time on grounds that actually beggar belief.

    Basically the business are disregarding all evidence I've provided and choosing to not uphold my grievance due to the statements of managers involved, even though they differ from the statements they gave in the first hearing dramatically.

    Is this common practice for employers to rarely uphold an employee's grievance? And if so why?

    thanks

    Re: The grievance process

    Is this a separate issue to the one you have posted about returning to work after an accident at work?

    I am have not come across any published information on employers upholding or not an employee's grievance so I cannot provide any insight into whether it is common practice for employers to rarely uphold an employee's grievance.

    I would guess from what you have said that you will be appealing the outcome of the second hearing of the grievance.

      Hi ULA, thanks for the reply.

      Yes both posts are linked, my grievance is centred around the fact I blew the whistle on serious HSE breaches within the business.

      My report of malpractice was coverd up then sadly I was victimised, bullied and harassed which lead to me suffering a serious nervous breakdown, this was 8 months ago.

      i just get the feeling that what's happening in this process is standard practice which will lead to me taking constructive dismissal after they reject the appeal, as I'm left with no way to possibly continue my employment, should the business continue to refuse to act.

        Hi,

        A "without predudice conversation" with a view to you leaving under a settlement agreement can always be suggested. Asking should not be used against you.

        Are you really strong enough for a Tribunal fight?

          interesting point you make actually.

          Yes I'll survive the tribunal fight, I don't have anyone other choice tbf, unless my employer upholds my grievance, takes action and allows me a way back to work once I recover from the mental health illness I'm suffering from.

          Do you have any opinion of the grievance process ? The few people I've spoken to in law regarding this , both said the same thing that the employer will rarely uphold a serious grievance, so don't get too frustrated when they knock it back for the weakest of reasons.
