A three-stage statutory grievance procedure, prescribed under the Employment Act 2002, which involves:
• The employee's written grievance.
• A meeting at which both sides may explain their case, followed by notification by the employer of the decision and the employee's right of appeal.
• An appeal meeting if the employee appeals, followed by notification of the final decision.
It applies in most cases where the employee raises a grievance that could form the basis of an employment tribunal claim. See also modified grievance procedure.
