What is the process for filing a workplace grievance?

1. Review the Policy: Check your company’s grievance procedure, usually in the employee handbook.
2. Informal Discussion: Try to resolve the issue informally by speaking to your manager or HR.
3. Formal Complaint: If unresolved, submit a formal grievance in writing, detailing the issue and any attempts to resolve it.
4. Investigation: HR or a designated person will investigate the grievance, gathering evidence and speaking to relevant parties.
5. Outcome: You’ll be informed of the outcome and any actions taken.
6. Appeal: If unsatisfied, you can appeal the decision following the company’s appeal process.  You will be asked to provide a clear rationale on your reasons for appeal.
7. Ensure the grievance is documented and follow the correct steps for a fair process.
