Article 19: Complaints about grievances: industrial tribunals
Article 19 specifies jurisdictions, as set out in the accompanying Schedule 3, to which the Article applies. It prevents certain categories of complaint from being presented to an industrial tribunal until Step 1 of the grievance procedures, detailed in Schedule 1, has been completed and at least 28 days have elapsed thereafter. The Department is empowered to make provision about the application of the grievance procedure and what constitutes compliance. The aim is to enable grievances to be resolved, where possible, close to their source in the workplace.
