Issues at work - pregnancy/miscarriage related

[NuckyThompson]

I would suggest writing a letter of appeal against the original grievance outcome.

As the process was wrong (lack of companion offered) plus the outcome was not desirable you have right and reason to appeal.

Highlight those issues and that a tribunal would see the procedures carried out by the firm as unfavourable (even more so if they are a large firm with HR resources on hand)

See how they respond to that. All of this can be done via email highlighting the stress your wife and family is under. mentions of tribunal etc may well frighten them a little to sitting down and applying common sense

Or it can cause people who are, let's say not too bright, to act more aggressively. And I do not see her manager as being all that bright........ Some people will wind in their necks, others will stretch them and without knowing the ins and outs of the Grievance and the outcome letter, evidence and investigation undertaken etc at this stage I would keep my powder dry in respect of litigation of any kind and would be using the "I love working here and just want everything to be happy" approach...

ETA it is always a judgment call as to how aggressive to be and when in my view, the same goes with mentioning legal advice etc... I tend to suggest not raising this fact as well until after resignation......... But others may take a different stance of course and who is to say what is right, the sad fact is that for these things it is hindsight that proves one way or the other.
