Deal with the situation where an employee fails to attend a meeting under the grievance procedure
Key points
Where an employee fails to attend a meeting under the grievance procedure, the employer should establish the reason for the employee's non-attendance.
The employer should reschedule the meeting if the employee has a good reason for failing to attend and/or it is the first meeting that the employee has not attended under this process.
A persistent failure to attend a grievance meeting for no good reason may entitle the employer to hold the meeting in the employee's absence.
