Conflict at work between a worker and management, or between co-workers, can develop into major issues if they are not dealt with quickly and fairly.

• An employer must have a policy and procedure for dealing with grievances;

• If an employer is considering dismissing an employee for whatever reason, a minimum disciplinary procedure must be followed;

• An employee is entitled to a minimum period of notice of termination of employment. 
  FAILURE to comply could lead to claims of constructive or unfair dismissal, plus additional compensation for breaches of procedure.
