Does a grievance have to be made in writing?

Does a grievance have to be made in writing?

No. A grievance can be a verbal complaint made to someone’s manager. Ideally, however, you would ask your member of staff if they want to put their grievance in writing so that there is a record. If a grievance is put in writing, it does not prevent an informal approach being taken if appropriate.
