Personal grievances are the pointy end of employment law and can be especially costly and time-consuming for small businesses to deal with.
While there is no silver bullet to guarantee your employees (or ex-employees) won’t raise a personal grievance against you, there are some common-sense strategies that will help reduce the risks. And, if one of your employees does raise one, the good news is that there is a fairly straightforward process to help you navigate their claims.
