Document background
An Employee Grievance Letter is a crucial workplace document used when formal complaints need to be raised within an organization. Under England and Wales law, employees have the right to raise grievances about their employment conditions, workplace relationships, or potential violations of their rights. The letter should be written after informal resolution attempts have been exhausted and must comply with the ACAS Code of Practice. It typically includes specific details about the complaint, relevant dates and events, supporting evidence, and the desired resolution. This document initiates the formal grievance procedure and may be important in potential employment tribunal proceedings.
