Disciplinary and grievance proceedings

Understanding your legal rights and responsibilities

Facing a disciplinary hearing or needing to raise a grievance at work can be stressful and overwhelming. Our employment law specialists provide clear, practical advice to help you navigate these processes with confidence.

What is a disciplinary or grievance procedure?

  • A disciplinary procedure is used by employers to address concerns about an employee’s conduct or performance.
  • A grievance procedure allows employees to formally raise concerns about workplace issues such as unfair treatment, bullying, discrimination, or breaches of contract.

How we can help:

  • Review and prepare your case, whether you’re responding to allegations or raising a complaint
  • Advise on your rights, including accompaniment, appeal options, and protection from retaliation
  • Draft formal communications, such as grievance letters or disciplinary responses
  • Represent you in hearings, appeals, or Employment Tribunal claims if necessary
  • Explore settlement options, where appropriate, to resolve matters swiftly and fairly

Our goal is to ensure you are treated fairly and that your voice is heard. Whether you’re defending against disciplinary action or raising a grievance, the Buckles Employment Law team are here to protect your interests and guide you every step of the way.
