How do you handle an employment relationship issue before it becomes a personal grievance? Personal grievances will arise at some point and it is how they are managed that makes all the difference. Regardless of the scenario, employers bear the responsibility of responding promptly, appropriately, and fairly. Failure to do so may hold significant consequences on productivity, culture, and in some instances – reputation.

Register for our free webinar where our experts will help you understand what to do when a grievance is raised, the correct policies you need to have in place and how to manage a grievance procedure from start to finish. Be proactive and safeguard against potential claims by ensuring you have the proper grievance procedures in place.

Our experts will share real-world case studies, practical tips, and actionable strategies that you can implement immediately. You'll have the opportunity to participate in a live Q&A session, addressing your specific concerns and scenarios. 

During the webinar, we'll discuss:

  • Worker Classification: Ensuring you classify employees and contractors correctly and the importance of providing the right pay and entitlements

  • Employee Issues: Learn to differentiate between performance problems and misconduct, and master appropriate responses for each

  • Adequate Record-Keeping: Keeping accurate business and employee records is critical for safeguarding against potential employee claims

  • Proper Handling of Terminations: Legitimate grounds for dismissal and your obligations surrounding termination to protect against unfair dismissal claims

  • Procedural Fairness: The essential steps to manage a personal grievance process
