Document background
An Appeal Grievance Letter is a critical document in the Irish workplace dispute resolution process, used when an employee wishes to formally challenge a decision made regarding their initial grievance. This document type must align with Irish employment law, particularly the Workplace Relations Act 2015 and Industrial Relations Acts. The letter is typically submitted after an unfavorable decision on an initial grievance and represents a formal escalation of the matter. It should include specific details about the original grievance, the decision being appealed, grounds for appeal, supporting evidence, and the desired outcome. The document must be drafted with careful attention to timeframes specified in both company policies and Irish law, as there are often strict deadlines for submitting appeals. The Appeal Grievance Letter serves as a formal record and may be referenced in subsequent proceedings, including potential referral to the Workplace Relations Commission.
