Letter Advising an Employee that a Formal Grievance has been Raised Against Them

This Letter advising an employee that a formal grievance has been raised against them is used where one employee has submitted a formal grievance about another employee.

It sets out the details of the grievance and explains that a formal investigation will now be carried out.

Where the allegations are serious and amount to possible misconduct, it may be appropriate to suspend the employee on full pay while the matter is investigated.

What This Letter Covers

The employer should carry out the formal investigation without delay.

The employee must be fully informed of the allegations made against them and given the opportunity to respond.

ACAS Code and Tribunal Risk

This letter takes account of the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures.

Where the Code applies and a tribunal upholds an employee’s complaint, compensation may be adjusted by up to 25% if either party has unreasonably failed to comply with its requirements.
