how to deal with work disputes and problems


 

Issues of concern could include:
The way you are treated at work or the behaviour of other employees;
The terms and conditions of your contract;
Tasks you are being asked to do at work; and
Conditions in the workplace.
Fortunately there are rules in place which mean that you should be able to take
action if you are having genuine issues at work.
Being aware of your rights under employment law
can be a huge help.
Disciplinary proceedings
Your employer may bring disciplinary proceedings against you if they feel that your
behaviour in the workplace or performance in your role are of an unacceptable
standard. Even in this situation, however, they are expected to follow appropriate
procedures and treat you fairly.
If you are facing disciplinary proceedings in the workplace, make sure you know your
rights and read up on what you can expect to happen with our guide to disciplinary
procedures. You should also check your employer’s disciplinary procedure.

Grievances
If you have a workplace issue which has not been dealt with to your satisfaction
through informal means, you may want to consider raising a grievance. A grievance
is a formal complaint that your employer will be obliged to investigate using
appropriate and fair processes.
Whether your issue relates to your workload, poor management, the behaviour of
other co-workers, or any other work problem, take a look at our post on grievances to
find out what you should do next. You should also check your employer’s grievance
procedure.

Employment tribunals
If you feel that an issue at work has not been resolved properly despite having
undergone your employer’s formal complaints procedures, you may want to consider
having your case heard at an employment tribunal. Employment tribunals are
independent bodies which can make a ruling on whether you are being treated
unfairly at work.

Discrimination
It is illegal for your employer or other workers to discriminate against you at work.
Discrimination includes situations where you are treated less favourably due to one
or more of what are termed ‘protected characteristics’.
To find out more about the definition of discrimination and what to do if you have
encountered it in the workplace, please read our guide to workplace discrimination.

Health and safety
Your employer is required by law to ensure that your workplace is as safe as
possible, and that any risks are recognised and minimised. Health and safety covers
all kinds of workplace hazards, ranging from keeping people safe around dangerous
machinery to maintaining a comfortable temperature in an office; and if your
employer does not take it seriously there could be severe repercussions.
For more information about your employer’s responsibilities regarding health and
safety in the workplace, take a look at our post about health and safety.

When work comes to an end
Leaving your job can be unpleasant, particularly if you do not agree with your
employer’s approach or feel you were unfairly forced out. If you think your employer
acted illegally in terminating your role, you may be able to make a claim.

Holidays and time off work
People take time off from their jobs in all sorts of situations - whatever your reason for
needing to take a period of leave, there’s likely to be a facet of employment law
which covers it.

Dismissal from work
In the majority of cases, if your employer wants to dismiss you from your job, they are
required by law to follow certain procedures to ensure that everything is done fairly.
Make sure you know your employment rights in a dismissal situation.

How to raise a grievance at work
If you have a problem at work that has not been resolved through informal
discussion, your next step should be to raise a formal grievance through your
employer's grievance procedure. This means they must take steps to fix the issue.
