Disputes & Personal Grievance Procedure Sample Clauses

Disputes & Personal Grievance Procedure. Employment relationship problems including personal grievances (i.e. claims of unjustified dismissal, unjustified disadvantage, discrimination, sexual or racial harassment or duress in relation to membership of a union or employees organisations), disputes about interpretation, application or operation of an employment agreement, and any other problem arising out of the employment relationship between an employee and the employer not being a problem relating to the fixing of the new terms and conditions of employment. An employee who believes s/he has an employment relationship problem should, with the assistance of TIASA if s/he chooses, raise the problem with his or her manager or Human Resources. Both the employer and the employee should try to resolve the matter in an interest based manner as soon as possible. An employee who believes that s/he has a personal grievance must raise the matter with the employer within 90 days of the grievance occurring or coming to the employee’s notice, whichever is the latter. A written submission is strongly recommended. The employer will attempt to solve the matter through discussion of the facts so that any assumptions or misunderstandings can be resolved. This can be done either directly or through our representatives. The employee is encouraged to have a TIASA representative, friend, relative or colleague with them during the discussion. If resolution is not achieved through discussion, either the employee or the employer or both parties jointly, may apply for mediation assistance from the Department of Labour. If resolution is not achieved through mediation, the employee may apply to the Employment Relations Authority for investigation and determination. In certain circumstances, the decision of the Employment Relations Authority may be appealed by the employee or the employer to the Employment Court.
