Official Letter of Complaint

[PhoenixLaw]

Good Morning

 

I have been working for a small consultancy of around 40 members of staff for a year now. I am thinking of putting in a letter of complaint to the Chairmen regarding my employment experience involving my job role. This naturally will have an impact on my line manager.

 

The general brief gist of my issues are as follows: Job very different to as advised at interview. OTE target impossible to earn due to my line manager's lack of attention and focus. Lack of training, I have been here a year and spent 2 working days in total with my line manager. No chance for progression as advised in interview. No set targets and unprofessionalism received again from line manager.

 

 

There is more to it then that but I'm looking for advice really on how to structure and word this complaint.

 

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

If you want to be treated seriously, you should indicate on the letter that you wish to raise a formal grievance.

 

A grievance in law is a written complaint which could later form the basis of an ET claim, but from what you've said, I don't see that you really have a claim at the moment. What do you want out of the situation?

"There is more to it " and what would that be?

That's just a big list of moans none of which look illegal to me.

 

What do you *want* and how will it benefot the employer?

Well IMO if you send a letter listing your complaints then your employer may well think that you dont want to stay in the job!, why dont you try an informal chat 1st with your line manager? have you asked for any additional training? Always better to try the friendly informal route 1st leaves a better taste in the mouth I think, especially as it just sounds like you are not keen on the job. Most jobs are really nothing like their job description.
