This area covers how an employer handles employee misconduct, performance problems and grievances in England. It includes formal disciplinary processes, performance management, potential sanctions, and resolving employee complaints through internal procedures and external tribunals when needed. A solicitor advises on compliance, draft and review disciplinary and grievance procedures, prepares supporting documents, and represents the client at disciplinary hearings, appeals, and associated negotiations with the employee.
