When is a grievance not a statutory grievance?

by Philip

 When does a grievance lodged by an employee not amount to a statutory grievance for the purposes of Tribunal proceedings? That is the question. The answer lies in the following from the EAT

“the grievance in question must relate to the subsequent claim, and the claim must relate to the earlier grievance, if the relevant statutory provision is to be complied with��?

Therefore an employee alleging race or sex discrimination must ensure that any grievance lodged with their employer states that the reason for the treatment is based on race or sex. More detail here.
