grievance procedure A standard course of action that should be followed by employees with a complaint against their employer. The procedure normally has three steps: (1) the employee submits a written statement setting out his or her complaint; (2) a formal meeting is held between employer and employee; (3) if the complaint is rejected, a second meeting should be held to consider any appeal by the employee. If the employee does not complete step (1) he or she cannot take the case to an employment tribunal; if either side fails to complete steps (2) and (3) then the tribunal may vary any compensation awarded by up to 50%. The procedure does not apply in cases of collective grievance.
