Addressing your concerns – support provided by WRS

WRS can support you in many different ways depending upon your needs:

  1. Once you get in touch, we will first provide you with a free initial consultation. This will involve evaluating your representation needs, discussing how best to construct your case, what you need to do to prepare, and your prospects of success. We will also provide an estimate of WRS’s costs if you want to progress with our support.
  2. If you are submitting a grievance (or similar) complaint, we can guide you with what to write in your complaint letter. Or your Appeal Letter if you have had an unsatisfactory outcome to an earlier disciplinary or grievance hearing.
  3. Produce a detailed and persuasive Written Statement for you. How well-written and professional this is will be critical to how successful you are achieving the outcome you are seeking.
  4. Arrange for you to be accompanied at any Formal Meetings by an exceptionally experienced and professional representative of a trade union, who will present your case in by far the most effective and compelling way.
  5. Negotiate a Settlement Agreement for you if you have a strong case and your employer wants to avoid the time and cost of legal proceedings.
  6. Provide you with guidance and support if you eventually need to take your case to employment tribunal.
