 NRDC GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL SYSTEM

 

 

1.0             Introduction

 

                  The need of a formal Grievance handling system has arisen, despite the fact that NRDC management believes in the philosophy of open door policy; in the matter of handling of grievances, and the aggrieved employee is welcome to meet his Departmental Head, the Head of personnel or top management to discuss his grievance.

 

                  Nevertheless with the complexities and problems, the need of a formal grievance system cannot be under estimated.

 

2.0             Objectives

 

                  The objective of the NRDC Grievance Redressal System is to adopt such measures as would ensure expeditious settlement of any employee grievance leading to increased satisfaction resulting in improved productivity and effectiveness of the organisation.

 

2.1             The objectives could be termed as:-

                 

  1. settlement of grievances of employees expeditiously.
  2. Provide an opportunity so that the aggrieved employee derive satisfaction of speaking redressal, even from the highest level of authority.

 

3.0             Scope and Coverage

 

                  The System will cover all workmen as defined in the Industrial Dispute Act.

 

3.1             Grievance for the purpose of this system would only mean individual grievance and matters under the scope of the System, which can be invoked by an aggrieved employee relating to:

 

  • Salary payment

                  The aggrieved employee will present his grievance in writing to his/her Head of Department.  The HOD will examine the case, and if necessary hold discussions with the aggrieved employee and try and settle his grievance.  He may also seek the advice of the Personal Department, if necessary.
