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 Procedures and the Guidance Notes: Grievance Procedures. 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.

Conducting Grievance Meetings Fairly and Consistently

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.

Using These Notes with Grievance Meeting Documents

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, including the Grievance Meeting Letter, Formal Grievance Record Form, and Grievance Meeting Decision Letter.
