Subject: Formal Grievance Letter
Dear [Recipient’s Name],
I am writing to formally raise a grievance concerning my employment with [Company’s Name].
**Details of the Grievance:**
*. **Breach of Contract**: I was informed that I was no longer required at the branch I was contracted to work at and was redirected to other locations without any prior application or agreement from my side.
*. **Constructive Dismissal**: Despite my continuous communication, I was told I voluntarily resigned, which is not true. This has resulted in the cessation of my wages since June.
**Evidence**:
- Written communications regarding my employment terms.
- Records of communications with HR.
- My P45 indicating the supposed resignation.
I request a thorough investigation into this matter and a prompt resolution. I believe this situation has unfairly impacted my employment status and financial stability.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward
