Grievances Redressal Procedure
Employees should seek to resolve any grievance informally wherever possible in the first instance with the help and intervention of their peers/subordinates. Else may submit in the format as per annexure “A” to committee/ annexure “B” to COO. Grievance can be submitted in person/ through mail/online (duly signed, scanned and attached) or through postal/courier along with all evidence and documents. Unsigned grievance or grievance without any identity will neither be entertained or responded to sender. At the grievance hearing the Grievance Redressal committee/ higher level will seek to gather the facts from the aggrieved employee/ committee with a view to seeking a mutually agreed solution. In the course of the investigation into the grievance, it may be necessary for the committee members to interview witnesses or collate relevant data. The decision of the committee or/and next level will be final.
