Grievances under ACAS

[justiceman]

If a grievance is raised against a management decision, MUST that decision be put on hold until the grievance procedure has finished and an outcome agreed?

My workplace tend to still go ahead with the decision even if the grievance process has begun, thus making it harder to reverse the decision even if the grievance process proves that they are in the wrong.

Answered my own question by phoning ACAS just in case it effected anyone else.......the answer is no.

You may choose to ask your employer to consider putting the decision on hold whilst the grievance is in process but there is no legal obligation or even code of best practice to do so.
