Letter to Appeal a Grievance Hearing Decision - for employees
Employees have a legal right to raise a grievance and appeal a grievance hearing decision.
Our employee grievance documents are aimed at helping an employee raise a grievance with their employer and appeal a grievance hearing decision, as quickly and easily as possible.
Our employee documents ensure an employee fully explains their grievances (and appeal reasons) in writing to their employer, and includes both:
- a standard letter to send to an employer
- an extensive list of common grievance (and grievance appeal) reasons from which an employee can choose or add to when putting forward their case to their employer
