Letters Kate

If you have been mistreated at work, you can write a grievance letter to your boss about the unfair treatment. One should be careful while writing this letter as most employers consider this letter trash.

It is important to note that employees can write this letter well and handle the situation afterward when they understand their employment rights. If you are not aware of your rights, you will result in writing a grievance letter in a very bad way that is likely to not influence your employer.

Why a grievance letter is written?

Employees write the grievance letter to get rid of the unfair treatment they usually have to face at the workplace. The grievance letter is sometimes written to draw the attention of the top authorities of the company to an issue that the employee is facing. This letter is usually written to the HR department of the company. The company is expected to write another reply in reply to the grievance letter.

How to write a grievance letter for unfair treatment?

It has been told earlier that the grievance letter must be written properly so that the employer takes it seriously and takes some action after reading it. To deal with this, we are giving you step-by-step instructions to help you:

  • Tell about the grievance:

The letter should be started by telling the employer that you are writing the grievance letter because of being treated unfairly. There are different types of unfair treatment. Sometimes, there is indiscrimination that leads someone to realize that they are being treated unfairly.

  • Tell why you feel unfair treatment:

After reading this letter, your employer might think that you have some misunderstanding. Therefore, you need to tell in detail why and how you felt mistreatment. Tell the employer that you are aware of your employment rights and therefore, the company must fairly treat you just as anyone else working in the company is treated.

  • Mention names:

If there is a particular person in the company whose behavior is subjecting you to this unfair treatment, you must mention the name of that person in the letter. If there is someone in the company against whom you are being treated unfairly, mention the name of that person.

  • Tell how mistreatment has impacted you:

It is important to tell the employer that unfair treatment has caused you to suffer a lot. Bad or unfair treatment often leads to depression and other psychological problems. Tell the employer that you have been going through serious problems. Mention those problems in the letter in a brief way.

  • Ask for compensation:

Every kind of bad and unfair treatment has compensation. Anyone who is treated badly can demand compensation. Due to this, the employee who has been treated unfairly can ask for compensation.

  • End the letter positively:

At the end of the letter, express your hope that the employer will take action on whatever you have explained. A probe should be conducted in this matter so that you can get justice.

This is a sample letter of explanation that is written by an employee who is disabled and has felt that he is not being treated as well as other employees. In this letter, the employer tells the employee how he has been mistreated.

Sample letters

#1

I am writing to formally raise a concern regarding an important matter at work. I believe that the distribution of workload within our department is unfair. Over the past three months, I have noticed that I am assigned more work responsibilities than my teammates. I am also required to work overtime while the rest of my colleagues sign off at 6 PM.

This unequal distribution of work has led to an increased level of stress for me. As a result, it has affected my ability to perform to the best of my abilities. Despite bringing this matter up with my supervisor, no changes have been made. I continue to receive more workload than the others.

I, therefore, request you conduct an impartial review to investigate the matter. I am available to fulfill my role and responsibilities at work, but all team members need to be treated equally.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope for a prompt and fair resolution.

I am writing to formally file a complaint against my supervisor for discriminatory treatment based on my gender. Over the past six months, my male colleagues have been given more professional opportunities and leadership roles for various projects. On the other hand, I am mostly assigned low-priority tasks and I have never been allowed to lead my team.

My work performance has always been up to the mark, as proved by my annual work performance report. I have never missed my deadlines or taken off from work unnecessarily. Therefore, I believe that the lack of opportunities provided to me is solely based on gender discrimination. This goes against the company’s policy for gender equality.

I have raised these concerns informally with my immediate supervisor, but no action has been taken to address this issue. I, therefore, request HR for a formal investigation into this matter. I expect the management to take appropriate action to ensure fair treatment and equal opportunities for all employees regardless of gender.

I would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.

RE: Observing unfair treatment in [TEXT]

Dear (name of the employer),

I am writing this letter to raise the issue of getting treated less favorably. I believe that I have been subjected to bad treatment which I never expected. I have felt that I was given less favorable treatment because of my disability. This treatment has given me so much depression and anxiety. I believe that I deserve to be treated the same way everyone else is treated.

Due to undue depression and anxiety, I am unable to work properly. My social and personal life has been affected badly. The unfair treatment has affected my cognitive abilities and now I am unable to think clearly and do anything in a normal way.

I am so upset about the fact that I have been mistreated on the particular grounds of disability which is so deplorable. I have been discriminated against many times in comparison with Mr. Johnson.

Please consider this letter as a grievance letter from my side. I want to know why I have been treated unfairly. Furthermore, I also want to be compensated for the emotional and professional damage that the unfair treatment has caused.

Regards,

Your name.

Company name.
Position in the company.
