When do the old grievance procedures apply?

Either the standard grievance procedure or the modified grievance procedure would apply and the action on which the grievance is based:

occurs entirely before 6 April 2009; or

begins on or before 5 April 2009 and continues beyond that date and the employee presents a complaint to an employment tribunal or submits a valid written grievance:

on or before 4 July 2009 for claims with a three-month time limit;

on or before 4 October 2009 for claims with a six-month time limit (claims for equal pay, statutory redundancy pay, and anything to which section 238 of TULRCA applies).
