# My Grievances

> My Grievances is where you can formally raise a workplace concern and follow what happens to it.

My Grievances is where you can formally raise a workplace concern and follow what happens to it. A grievance is a complaint you want HR to look into — anything from a dispute with a colleague to a problem with your working conditions — and this page gives you a private, on-the-record way to lodge one and track its progress.

Only your own grievances appear here. You can't see anyone else's, and the system makes sure a grievance you raise is recorded as coming from *you* — there's no way to file one on someone else's behalf.

**You'll find this at:** `/my-hr/grievances`

## What you'll see

The page lists the grievances you've raised in a table:

| Column      | What it shows                             |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Subject** | The short title you gave it.              |
| **Date**    | When it was raised.                       |
| **Status**  | Where it is in the process (see below).   |
| **Type**    | The grievance category, if you chose one. |

You can search and page through the list. The page is found through the **self-only** profile endpoint, the same one the rest of My HR uses — an earlier version mistakenly used an admin lookup that ordinary employees aren't allowed to make, which wrongly hid this page (and the "Raise a Grievance" button) from the very employees it's meant for. That has been fixed; the page now identifies you from your own record.

### Status meanings

| Status                  | Meaning                            |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Open**                | Logged and awaiting attention.     |
| **Under Investigation** | HR is looking into it.             |
| **Resolved**            | Closed out.                        |
| **Invalid**             | Found not to be a valid grievance. |
| **Cancelled**           | Withdrawn / cancelled.             |

## Raising a grievance

Click **Raise a Grievance** to open the form.

> 📷 *Screenshot: the Raise a Grievance dialog with Subject, Description and Type fields — to be added.*

| Field           | Required | Notes                                                                |
| --------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Subject**     | Yes      | A brief title. Can't be blank, and is limited to 255 characters.     |
| **Description** | Yes      | Describe the issue in detail. Can't be blank.                        |
| **Type**        | No       | Pick a grievance category if one fits; only active types are listed. |

Both Subject and Description are **required and must not be blank** — even a value of only spaces is rejected (the text is trimmed first), so you'll be prompted to fill them in properly. When you click **Submit**, the grievance is logged.

Two things are handled for you, server-side, and can't be tampered with from the form:

* **Who raised it** is forced to your own employee record — you can't raise a grievance as someone else.
* **The date** is set to today automatically.
* **Which business it belongs to** is worked out from your own employment contract, so HR sees it in the right place. (The portal deliberately ignores any business value sent by the browser — this closed a loophole where a grievance could otherwise be planted into another business's HR queue.)

After submitting you'll get a confirmation and the new grievance appears in your list.

## After you've raised it

Once a grievance is in, HR takes it through the investigation and resolution process on the admin side. You follow its progress here via the **Status** column. The full HR-side handling — assignment, investigation, resolution and the audit trail — is covered on the lifecycle Grievances page below.
