At HR First we work with employers who may have concerns about an employee or perhaps an employee has made a complaint or submitted a formal grievance. HR First is able to advise the employer of the legal merits of any complaint and to provide the employer with impartial employment law advice and support to investigate the issues. Our consultants organise and facilitate grievance hearings in compliance with the legal requirements and will draft documents on behalf of the employer in response to grievances and other issues raised by an employee including settlement agreements if required. We have experience in working with union representatives for those employers who recognise unions or for those employees who are members of a trade union and have a statutory right to be represented by a union representative.
There are some employment disputes when despite an employer taking a reasonable position to resolve a complaint, the employee decides to progress the issue at an employment tribunal. Where this is the case HR First offers a full employment tribunal advocacy service with our Employment Tribunal Service.
