Grievances At Work
Many employees suffer unpleasant treatment at work such as bullying, harassment or discrimination. Due to such treatment, employees can be fearful of going into work and in some cases the treatment suffered can even lead to illness.
What Can I Do If I Have Problems At Work?
Ideally, it is best to have matters resolved informally. This can be done either by saying outright to the people involved that you are not happy with how they are treating you and asking them to stop. Alternatively, you could mention your feelings to someone who is not involved and ask if they would have a word with those who are making you feel uncomfortable.
It may be, however, that you feel it is not appropriate to deal with matters informally. This may be the case if, for example, the complaint is about your line manager. You may also feel that matters have simply gone too far and that they must be dealt with formally and on the record. It may even be that you simply feel uncomfortable with dealing with things informally and feel you need to have someone more senior involved.
If the grievance procedure fails to resolve the matter, you may be in a position to submit a claim against your employer or you may feel that you simply have no option but to resign. In such circumstances, you may be entitled to submit a claim for constructive dismissal.
