Right To Be Accompanied
One of the main questions the NORI HR & Employment Law Team are asked is “Does an employee have the right to be accompanied to a disciplinary or grievance hearing?”
In this video, Senior HR Advisor Gary Foster explores the considerations around who can be accompanied and by whom including:
- Being accompanied by a colleague
- Being accompanied by a trade union representative
- Employees under the age of 18
- Parents and guardians
- Solicitors accompanying employees based on jobs types.
If you are in the position of arranging an employee meetings, whether that be for a grievance meeting, a disciplinary meeting and want to know more about the right to be accompanied, or other situations and you would like further clarification on the best process, how to complete and guidelines to follow, get in touch with our team.
