Grievance to be Dealt With Informally Explanation Letter

This Letter explaining it is not appropriate to deal with an issue under the formal grievance procedure is for use where an employee has submitted a formal grievance about a matter that is trivial or frivolous.

It explains that the formal grievance procedure is intended for serious complaints and confirms that the issue should be dealt with informally instead.

The letter also directs the employee back to their line manager so the matter can be addressed through the appropriate informal route.

When a grievance should be handled informally

This letter may be used where the employer considers that the issue raised does not justify being dealt with under the formal grievance procedure.

It helps the employer explain that the concern should be taken forward through an informal route, rather than through the formal grievance process.

Where informal handling is appropriate, employers may also find the Informal Discussion Letter useful.
