Grievance Letter from Employee

The Employee Grievance Letter is used by an employee to raise a grievance formally and ask the employer to deal with it under the company’s grievance procedure.

It is suitable where an employee has a problem, complaint, or concern that has not been resolved informally, or where the issue is serious enough to justify a formal written grievance from the outset. This Employee Grievance Letter complies with the The ACAS Code Of Practice.

When an Employee Should Use This Grievance Letter

In many cases, employees should try to resolve concerns informally with their manager first. Where that is unsuccessful, inappropriate, or the matter is more serious, this letter provides the starting point for the formal grievance process.

This letter can be used where:

• the employee has tried to raise the issue informally without success;
• the grievance is serious enough to put in writing straight away; or
• the employee wants the employer to deal with the matter formally under its grievance procedure.

How This Letter Supports the Formal Grievance Process

A written grievance helps set out the issue clearly and gives the employer a proper basis for arranging a formal grievance meeting.

Used alongside the Grievance Procedures, it helps employers deal with employee concerns in a fair, consistent, and timely way. Once a formal grievance has been raised, the employer may also need the Grievance Meeting Letter.
