Grievances & discipline

Cases and deadlines, organized.

Grievances follow your contract's own procedure, with a deadline on every step. Disciplinary reviews are tracked from investigation to outcome. Everything about a case stays together.

Your procedure, your steps

Built around your contract.

Each grievance moves through the steps in your contract's procedure. LaborWise starts you with common defaults you can change: Verbal Discussion, Written Grievance, Formal Hearing and Arbitration, with deadlines of 7, 14, 21 and 30 days.

  • The current step is highlighted, with plain labels like “Due in 7 days” or “Overdue by 3 days”

Deadline reminders

Reminders before it's due, not after.

LaborWise checks deadlines every hour and sends reminders in the app and as push notifications to your phone. Overdue steps stand out in red on every list.

Everything about the case

Notes, files and discussion stay with the case.

Each case has its own discussion thread, notes, documents, tasks and a full activity history. When a steward hands a case to someone else, nothing has to be explained twice.

  • Generate grievance forms and letters as PDFs from your own templates
  • The case list groups cases by step, with filters for status, priority and department
Disciplinary review

Track discipline from start to finish.

When management disciplines a member, follow the case through investigation, member interview, evidence, management review and union consultation, and record the outcome. It shows up in the member's history alongside their grievances.
