Peel Commissioners Uphold 1 Staff Grievance After Independent HR Probe

1 articles · Updated · Manx Radio · Jun 20

Summary

  • An independent HR consultant found sufficient evidence to uphold a staff employment grievance against Peel Commissioners, the local authority said.
  • The case was opened in April after Commissioner Katryna Baptist published a video alleging poor governance, transparency and accountability within the commissioners.
  • Details of the complaint — including who filed it and its contents — were not disclosed, but board members received recommendations on procedural and organisational matters.
  • One individual commissioner also received additional recommendations as the commissioners said they hoped to move forward after the investigation.
