About this event
From Grievance to Employment Tribunal: what every HR professional needs to know
A grievance can be the start of a much wider employee relations challenge. Do you know what happens if a complaint escalates into an Employment Tribunal claim, and how your actions at each stage can strengthen or weaken your position?
Grievance to ET3: Processes, Pitfalls and Practical Tips for HR Professionals
A workplace grievance can quickly develop into a formal legal dispute if not handled effectively. Understanding the process from initial complaint through to Employment Tribunal proceedings is an increasingly important skill for HR professionals and people managers.
Join CIPD West Yorkshire and the Employment Team at Flint Bishop for a practical and informative breakfast event focusing on the key stages of a case from grievance through to the submission of an ET3 response.
This session will provide HR professionals with a clearer understanding of the legal framework, practical considerations and common challenges that arise when employee concerns escalate beyond internal procedures.
The session will cover:
- Managing grievances effectively and reducing legal risk
- Understanding the relationship between grievance procedures and Employment Tribunal claims
- ACAS Early Conciliation and its role in dispute resolution
- The Employment Tribunal process from ET1 to ET3
- Gathering and preserving evidence
- Record keeping and documentation best practice
- Working effectively with legal advisers
- Common pitfalls and lessons learned from tribunal cases
- Practical tips to help HR professionals navigate the process with confidence
Attendees will gain a practical understanding of what happens when an employee moves from an internal grievance process to pursuing a tribunal claim, together with useful tips and insights that can help improve outcomes and reduce organisational risk.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions, network with fellow HR professionals and discuss current employee relations challenges.
