Professional Support for Workplace Grievances, Tribunal Claims, and Employment Disputes
Employment disputes can be stressful, time-sensitive, and legally complex. Whether you are dealing with workplace unfair treatment, disciplinary action, or preparing a tribunal claim, it is essential that your written documentation is clear, structured, and legally appropriate.
At John The Solicitor, we provide professional drafting support for employment-related disputes across England & Wales, assisting both employees and employers in managing workplace issues effectively and confidently.
Our services include support with grievances, ET1 claims, disciplinary responses, and settlement correspondence.
Understanding Employment Disputes
Employment disputes can arise from a wide range of workplace issues, including:
- Unfair treatment or dismissal
- Workplace disciplinary action
- Wage or unpaid salary disputes
- Discrimination or harassment claims
- Breach of employment contract
- Constructive dismissal concerns
Most employment disputes in the UK fall under the jurisdiction of the Employment Tribunal, which follows strict procedural rules and expects clear, structured documentation from both parties.

Our Employment Law Writing Services
Grievances
A grievance is a formal written complaint raised by an employee regarding workplace issues.
We assist in drafting structured grievance documents that:
- Clearly outline the issue(s) raised
- Present factual and chronological detail
- Reference relevant workplace policies where appropriate
- Maintain a professional and legally appropriate tone
- Strengthen the employee’s formal position
A well-drafted grievance can be crucial in ensuring your concerns are properly addressed by your employer.
ET1 Drafting Support
The ET1 form is the official document used to submit a claim to the Employment Tribunal.
We provide professional drafting support for ET1 claims, ensuring that:
- The facts of your case are clearly set out
- Legal grounds for the claim are properly structured
- Key events are presented in chronological order
- The claim aligns with tribunal expectations and requirements
- The document is clear, concise, and procedurally compliant
Employment Tribunal claims must be submitted within strict time limits, typically three months less one day from the date of the issue in dispute, making accurate drafting and timing essential.
Disciplinary Responses
If you are facing disciplinary action at work, how you respond in writing can significantly affect the outcome.
We assist with preparing disciplinary responses that:
- Address allegations clearly and factually
- Provide context and supporting explanations
- Refer to relevant policies or procedures
- Maintain a professional and measured tone
- Protect your position in potential future proceedings
A carefully structured response can help ensure fairness during internal procedures and any subsequent tribunal proceedings.
Settlement Correspondence
Many employment disputes are resolved through settlement discussions before reaching tribunal.
We assist with settlement correspondence, including:
- Pre-claim settlement negotiations
- Without prejudice correspondence
- Settlement position statements
- Responses to settlement offers
- Structured negotiation communications
Settlement discussions are often encouraged in employment disputes, particularly through mechanisms such as ACAS Early Conciliation, which is a required step before most Employment Tribunal claims in the UK.
