32/ Grievance Procedure

Where you have a grievance relating to any aspect of your employment you should have no hesitation in raising the matter informally. Your Statement of Main Terms of Employment details with whom the grievance should be raised.  If you wish to make a formal grievance it must be set out in writing.

It is Reprotec UK’s intention to consider all grievances as soon as possible, and a meeting will be held usually within 5 days of you raising the grievance.  The meeting will enable you to give full details of your grievance.

You are entitled to be accompanied by a fellow employee or accredited trade union official at the grievance meeting and any subsequent appeal meetings.

If your grievance is about the person detailed in your Statement you should raise it with a more senior member of management, or, if not possible, another member of management at the same level.

After the meeting the Manager will inform you of their decision in writing in response to the grievance.  You have the right to appeal against this decision.

If you wish to appeal, you must inform Reprotec UK in writing within 5 working days.  You will then be invited to attend another meeting, after which you will be informed of the final decision in writing.

It is not permissible to record, whether audio and/or visual, any meetings which take place as part of this procedure, without the express written authorisation of Reprotec UK.
