The Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures were produced following discussion between the HSEA and Health Services trade Unions. These procedures have been prepared in accordance with the Labour Relations Commission’s Code of Practice on Grievance and Disciplinary Procedures. These procedures are effective from 1st May 2004 and supersede all local procedures. Each employer is required to reproduce these procedures and specify the management levels which will be responsible for operating the various stages.
