Invitation to a Formal Grievance Hearing

Employees have a legal right to raise a written grievance complaint (and to have them dealt within a reasonable timeframe).

Employers can use this standard letter to confirm receipt of a grievance and invite an employee to attend a formal grievance hearing.

This letter ensures managers:

• quickly respond to written grievances
• invite employee to a grievance hearing
• advise employees of their legal rights 
  
• deal with grievances in a reasonable timeframe
