Challenging a sanction or a change of conditions

Challenges to disciplinary sanctions, substantial changes to working conditions, relocations and fundamental rights protection proceedings.

Disciplinary sanctions, changes and workplace harassment

What is included

  • Review of the sanction letter or the notice of change
  • Conciliation request and claim within the deadline
  • Fundamental rights protection proceedings where appropriate

What is included and what is not promised

A sanction not challenged in time becomes final and counts as a precedent for the next disciplinary file. The same happens with a change of conditions accepted without reservation: disputing it later is very hard.

What it includes: review of the sanction letter or the notice of change; conciliation request and claim within the deadline; fundamental rights protection proceedings where appropriate. What it does not include: it does not include outsourced management of the company's harassment protocol, which is a separate service for employers.

Documents you will need

  • Sanction letter or notice of the change.
  • Contract, payslips and applicable collective agreement.
  • Emails, messages or witnesses evidencing the facts.
