Grievance policy

What is a grievance policy and when should you use it?

 

You should have a grievance policy in place for your employees.

The policy covers your procedure when an employee has a grievance with another employee.

We recommend that you do not give this policy contractual status in any employment contract that you put in place, but that you do reference it in that contract, make clear that the employee is expected to comply with the policy and that you have the right to update or revise it, in your discretion and when you want to.

This template clearly sets out the various stages of your grievance procedure,  as well as optional elements for you to consider.
