    A grievance letter is very relevant. ACAS will not intervene unless he has written a grievance letter. He also can not apply to an Employment Tribunal unless he has written a grievance letter. If he has not applied to an ET within 3 months of his dismissal date he will be out of time.

    I think you are confusing the two procedures.

    Following a dismissal, if thinking the result is unfair, you submit an appeal within the specified timeframes, in writing.

    If, however, you felt your manager was bullying you, or you were being discriminated against, *generally*, and not specifically related to the dismissal, you would lodge a grievance.

    But lodging a greivance now, solely after the dismissal, would look very tit for tat and not help the case, most likely.

    ACAS/ |ET need him to APPEAL to consider the case, thus exhausting the internal procedures.

    I believe the procedure has now changed.

    But they must put in an appeal letter
