Employees who have a workplace complaint are entitled to raise a formal grievance. Grievances can be raised in relation to discrimination, workplace bullying, harassment, changes in terms and conditions of employment, treatment at work, health & safety, workplace change and work relations. If you raise a formal grievance your employer is obliged to follow its internal grievance procedure. Navigating the grievance procedure alone can be stressful. We regularly advise individuals on how to raise a formal grievance and we guide them through the grievance process.

If an employee has engaged in misconduct or is not performing to the required standard an employer may commence a disciplinary procedure. The outcome can result in disciplinary action against an employee ranging from a warning or a potential demotion through to termination of employment. This can be a difficult time for any employee.
