Document background
The Employee Complaint Letter is a fundamental document in Canadian workplace dispute resolution processes. It is used when an employee needs to formally document and report workplace issues such as harassment, discrimination, safety concerns, or violations of employment standards. The letter must be drafted in accordance with Canadian federal labor laws (such as the Canada Labour Code) and relevant provincial employment legislation, depending on the jurisdiction of the workplace. An Employee Complaint Letter typically includes specific details about the incident(s), dates, locations, witnesses, previous attempts at resolution, and the desired outcome. This document often serves as the first step in a formal grievance process and may be crucial evidence if the matter escalates to legal proceedings. It's essential that the letter maintains a professional tone while clearly articulating the issues and their impact on the workplace environment.
