It is the right of all employees to voice their complaints or express any grievance that may have and approach the organization to address such grievances.
Grievance Policy Provisions
The Employee
Any employee is entitled to file a grievance under the company’s grievance policy if he/she believes that a decision or action taken against him/her or the treatment afforded to him/her has been in violation of the applicable labor regulations, his/her employment contract, or the HR policies of the company.
The Manager
Managers will review complaints and grievances submitted to them, collect pertinent information, and start the process as expeditiously as possible within the established time limits. If the complaint is on a manager, the review will be made by the Head of HR.
Each manager receives complaints and grievances from those employees working in his/her department only. The manager has the right to discuss the grievance with the employee’s immediate supervisor.
The HR Function
The Head of HR shall be available to both the relevant manager and the employee to provide advice, interpretation of the policy, and counselling as may be requested.
