Letter of Complaint for Employer Unfair Treatment

Letters Kate

A letter of complaint to the employer regarding his unfair treatment is a letter written by an employee who has experienced unfair treatment while working in an organization. This letter is addressed to the employer of an organization, highlighting the issues and incidents for their attention. In addition to informing him, an employee launches a complaint against the unjust treatment he has undergone.

An employer can be unjust in various ways, such as:

  • Promotions.
  • Bonuses.
  • Salary raises.
  • Fringe benefits, etc.

The unfairness of the employer may be real or may be a perception of an employee. In both cases, it needs to be resolved, as it directly affects the employee and has an indirect impact on the company.

Writing a letter about how the employee felt and how he had to suffer due to the unjust treatment is a good and formal way to communicate and complain to the employer. Additionally, the employee can describe the impact of the employer’s unfair attitude on them, including demotivation and disappointment.

If an employee is not satisfied, they cannot show higher productivity and performance, which impacts the employer and the organization. Therefore, through this letter, the employer would get informed about the employee’s feelings, and the employer can aim to resolve the employee’s issue.

When an employee writes this letter, they can make it brief or comprehensive, and add details based on the extent of their disappointment. The general information, however, that is included in a letter of complaint to the employer regarding his unfair treatment is:

  • Date.
  • Details of the employee.
  • Details of the employer.
  • The issue and incidence of unfair treatment.
  • Show how and why it was unfair and unjust.
  • Effects on the employee and the company (if any).
  • Request for investigation and fair judgment.
  • Show hopefulness for a positive response.
  • Salutations and signature.

Sample Letters

I want to discuss an issue regarding my task assignments at work. I believe I am being mistreated when it comes to the division of responsibilities among team members. Due to gender discrimination, I am deprived of important opportunities, which are hindering my professional growth.

Despite my willingness to take initiative, my manager has been excluding me from important projects. I felt particularly disappointed when the opportunity to lead the XYZ project was given to a new team member, although I have more experience and skills than he does.

I feel demoralized due to this unfair treatment. I would like to have a fair chance to avail myself of work opportunities. I would appreciate it if you could look into the issue and resolve it accordingly.

Looking forward to your support.

I am writing to discuss the delay in the launch of our XYZ product. I understand your concern. Your reaction to the delay was justified. However, I would respectfully like to point out that it is unfair to blame the entire team when the irresponsible behavior of one person caused the delay.

Please note that John, Dane, and I did our parts of the assignment on time. On the other hand, Sam delayed the report submission, leading to the subsequent delay in the product launch. Therefore, only Sam should be held accountable for displaying a careless and unprofessional attitude towards such an important task.

I, therefore, request you to review and investigate the matter again and take fair action.

Thank you for your attention to the matter.

Dear Ms. Samantha,

This letter is intended to launch a complaint against the unfair treatment I have experienced.

I have been working as a ‘Sales Expert’ for the past five years at ABC Limited. Based on my performance and evaluation, I was expected to be promoted this year, i.e., 20XX, to the position of ‘Assistant Manager’. Even this promotion had been communicated to me orally by my managers as well. However, when the promotions were announced, my other colleague was promoted to assistant manager, while I remained in the same position.

I deem it unfair, as despite all the hard work, dedication, and performance I put in, I did not receive any recognition or a raise in my salary. I am very disappointed and would like to file a complaint with you regarding the adoption of unfair practices.

I hope you will look into this and make a fair judgment for me as well. Even if you think I did not deserve the promotion, please provide me with the proper reasoning and evidence, as my managers have unofficially informed me of my good performance and potential promotion.

I look forward to a positive reply. Thanks.

Regards,

David Smith.
