The Grievance Appeal Letter is a crucial document in the Dutch employment dispute resolution process, used when an employee wishes to challenge a decision made regarding their initial grievance complaint. This document becomes necessary when the first-instance grievance decision is unsatisfactory to the employee, and they wish to exercise their right to appeal under Dutch labor law. The letter must be drafted in compliance with the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and any applicable collective labor agreements (CAOs). It typically includes the original grievance details, the grounds for appeal, supporting evidence, and the desired outcome. The Grievance Appeal Letter serves as an official record of the appeal and forms part of the employee's formal employment documentation, potentially becoming important in any subsequent legal proceedings.
