So, you received a personal grievance letter from a company representing your former or current employee.
In your haste to defend a claim by an employee, employers can often make the situation worse for themselves and their business by providing the employee with more ammunition by responding at 3 am in a rage to tell them how unfair it is, you’re a great employer, and you have done nothing wrong.
STOP!!!!
An experienced employment specialist can help you identify whether the grievance meets specific legal requirements, the response to the employee could be as simple as satisfying your legal obligations by providing the employee and/or their representative with reasons for dismissal and a copy of the employee’s employment agreement or it could be positioning your reasons and decision to dismiss in the best light possible.
