Draft a formal grievance letter for workplace issues.
Dear HR Manager, I am writing to raise a formal grievance about unfair treatment at work. The issue has continued after I raised it informally on 10 March 2026. The main concern is that I have been treated differently in relation to shifts and duties without a clear explanation. I have emails and rota records that support the timeline. Please investigate this grievance and confirm the next steps in writing. Yours sincerely, Jane Smith
