What do I do if I have a dispute about my employment agreement?
| All employment agreements must include a personal disputes procedure that you will need to follow. If there is no procedure or it is less favourable than the one in the Employment Relations Act you will need to follow the procedure at the back of the Employment Relations Act (Schedule II): |
| Step one |
| Tell your employer that you have a dispute, what you are disputing, why, and the solution you want. Back this up with evidence if you can. (You can do this verbally or in writing) |
| Step two |
| You and your employer must meet to discuss the dispute. |
| Step three |
| If you and your employer can't agree on a solution, you must write a letter to your employer stating what the dispute is, how it has come about, and the solution you want. |
| Step four |
| If your employer doesn’t agree, he / she must, within 14 days of receiving your letter, send you a written statement with their side of the story, and why they won't do what you've asked for. (You and your employer can agree in writing not to do steps three and four if you want). |
| Step five |
| If you're not happy with your employer's response, or they don't send you one, or you've agreed not to write these letters, you may apply to the Employment Relations Service for mediation or to the Employment Relations Authority for a decision to be made (adjudication) (see step six of personal grievances). |
