Invitation to Investigatory Meeting Letter

This Invitation to a Grievance Investigatory Meeting Letter is used where an employer needs an employee to attend a meeting to provide information about another employee’s grievance.

It is intended for situations where more facts need to be gathered before a formal grievance meeting takes place.

Before the Formal Grievance Meeting

If further information is needed, the employer may need to investigate before moving the grievance forward formally.

Any investigatory meeting should be held as soon as possible after the grievance is received.

After the investigation stage, the employer may need the Grievance Meeting Letter to arrange the formal grievance meeting.

What This Grievance Investigatory Meeting Letter Covers

• asks the employee to attend an investigatory meeting;
• supports early fact-finding before the formal grievance stage;
• reminds the employee to treat the information confidentially; and
• reflects the relevance of GDPR and the The ACAS Code Of Practice.

In practice, information about the collection and processing of personal data will usually already have been provided through an employee privacy notice at the start of employment.

If the ACAS Code is relevant and a tribunal upholds an employee’s complaint, compensation may be adjusted by up to 25% where either party has unreasonably failed to comply with it.

Using This Letter as Part of the Grievance Process

This letter can be used alongside the Grievance Procedures and the Guidance Notes on Conducting Grievance Meetings where the grievance process requires investigation before the formal meeting stage.
