Grievance procedures
If you have a complaint against your employers then the usual way to formalise the complaint is to raise a grievance. The procedure for doing so will usually be contained in your contract of employment or your company's Employee Handbook although the usual way is to submit your grievance in writing. If you are unsure of the step you should take contact us at Ashton Morton Slack where we will guide you through the procedure. If you commence proceedings at the Employment Tribunal without having seen the grievance procedure through to its conclusion then you may face consequences should the matter reach a hearing. These usually take the form of a reduction in any damages awarded, such reductions sometimes being up to 50%.
There should be no repercussions from raising a grievance to your employer. Therefore if you feel that you have been discriminated against, whether that be dismissal, being overlooked for promotion or some other form of discrimination because you raised a grievance then you may be able to take action against your employer.
