This model grievance procedure helps employers set out a clear, fair process for handling employee complaints, from informal resolution through to a formal grievance and appeal where necessary.
When to use this model grievance policy
Use this model procedure to set out the steps your organisation will take to resolve an employee’s grievance, informally where possible and through a formal process where informal resolution is not appropriate.
This procedure can also be used where two or more employees raise a collective grievance and no collective bargaining agreement applies.
