Guidance Notes on Conducting Grievance Meetings

These Guidance Notes on Conducting Grievance Meetings are designed to guide employers through the process of holding grievance meetings.

They should be read alongside the Grievance Policy and Procedure and the Guidance Notes: Grievance Procedure. Where relevant, they also cross-refer to template letters covering the main grievance scenarios.

All employers should follow fair and reasonable procedures when dealing with employee grievances, including the way grievance meetings are arranged and conducted.

What These Guidance Notes Cover

This document focuses specifically on the conduct of grievance meetings, helping employers deal with that stage of the process in a clear and structured way.

It is intended to support employers not just on the formal procedure itself, but on how meetings should be handled in practice.

When to Use These Guidance Notes

This document is useful where an employer needs more focused guidance on running grievance meetings fairly and consistently.

It is particularly helpful for employers using the wider grievance procedure and related template letters as part of a joined-up process.
