Document background
The Grievance Invite Letter is a crucial document in the Dutch employment dispute resolution process, typically issued after an employee has formally raised a workplace concern or complaint. This document serves as the formal initiation of the grievance procedure, ensuring compliance with Dutch labor law requirements and internal company policies. The letter must be drafted carefully to maintain neutrality while clearly communicating the purpose, time, and location of the meeting, as well as the employee's rights under Dutch law, including the right to be accompanied. The timing and content of this letter are particularly important as they may later serve as evidence of procedural fairness if the matter escalates to legal proceedings.
