What if the individual and their reviewer are unable to reach agreement?
If a member of staff and their reviewer cannot agree, either one has the right to seek support on an informal local basis from a third party, for example, the human resource department or a trade union representative. The third party representative may request further information from either the reviewer or the member of staff. They must look at the information and make an objective decision that is non-discriminatory. If this informal process cannot address the problem, then the member of staff can take their case through local grievance procedures. If the local grievance procedure finds in favour of the member of staff and that individual has had their pay withheld then their pay will be back-dated to the point at which their pay progression should have occurred.
