This seminar provides clear, practical guidance on managing discipline and grievance issues fairly, consistently, and in line with best practice in Northern Ireland. Through facilitated group discussion, participants will explore how disciplinary and grievance decisions are assessed by tribunals, the importance of context and timely managerial intervention, and the role of policies, procedures, and the Labour Relations Agency Code of Practice.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:

• Identify when a dismissal is likely to be considered fair under Northern Ireland employment law.

• Apply informal and formal resolution approaches appropriately, recognising when each is most effective.

• Conduct disciplinary meetings, appeals, and grievance processes with clarity, structure, and confidence.

Participants will leave better equipped to make sound, legally defensible decisions, minimise organisational risk, and handle workplace issues in a way that supports fairness, positive employee relations, and overall organisational effectiveness.
