In entering the grievance procedure, your employer ought to follow the ACAS Code of Practice. The ACAS codes of practice are guidelines for your employer to follow. However, the grievance procedure is no longer [statutory].

Just because your employer follows the ACAS Code of Practice does not mean that it won’t conduct a sham grievance procedure.

This usually ends up with the aggrieved employee claiming constructive dismissal in an employment tribunal, due to the employer operating an unfair grievance procedure or acting in a capricious manner.

Employment tribunals receive a lot of claims for unfair dismissal. Claiming unfair dismissal in an employment tribunal is usually due to the employer treating the employee unfairly, where the employer fails to observe the terms of the employment contract.

Claiming unfair dismissal is the last resort. The very purpose of writing a grievance letter is not only to invoke the grievance procedure, but also to collate the evidence which you need to bring your employer to an Employment Tribunal if necessary. Therefore, it is essential that before you lodge a grievance letter with your employer, that you know the do’s and dont’s of the grievance procedure.
