Grievance - employees complained about

20. Employees complained about

If the complaint relates to the behaviour of another employee, the manager will formally write to them to notify them of the complaint against them, with details, and offer them the opportunity to provide a written response, ideally prior to the formal meeting and to be returned to the manager.

If an investigation is commissioned, the person should be dealt with fairly, reasonably and impartially at all times and interviewed regarding the complaint and accompanied by their TU representative/work colleague.  The aim of the interview is to ascertain the facts, views and perceptions of the person complained about in relation to the complaint which has been raised. 

The person complained about should also be advised that if the complaint is considered under the Disciplinary Procedure, notes of interviews taken will be forwarded to the Investigating Officer of the Disciplinary Procedure and may be used as part of that procedure.
