Workplace Action Toolkit

Workplace Action Toolkit — Letters, Checklists & Templates

Workplace problems are easier to deal with when you know what to write, what evidence to keep and what questions to ask.

The Workplace Action Toolkit is a practical 31-page resource containing ready-to-use letters, checklists, trackers and meeting tools for common workplace issues.

It is designed to help employees organise their case, communicate clearly with their employer and keep an accurate record of what has happened.

What is included

10 guided workplace letters, covering areas such as:

requesting Statutory Sick Pay;

raising a formal grievance;

appealing a disciplinary decision;

appealing redundancy;

requesting unpaid wages or holiday pay;

submitting a Subject Access Request;

asking for written reasons and supporting information.

5 practical checklists, including:

disciplinary meeting preparation;

grievance preparation;

redundancy consultation;

evidence gathering;

workplace meeting preparation.

3 workplace trackers and forms, including:

pay and hours tracker;

workplace incident and evidence record;

meeting notes template.

Each template includes guidance on when to use it, what information to add and what supporting evidence may be helpful.

Who is this toolkit for?

This toolkit may be useful if you are:

facing disciplinary action;

considering a grievance;

going through redundancy;

disputing sick pay, holiday pay or wages;

preparing for a workplace meeting;

trying to organise emails, dates, documents and evidence;

unsure how to put your concerns in writing.

Why it helps

Workplace disputes often become harder because important dates are forgotten, evidence is scattered or requests are made informally without a clear written record.

This toolkit gives you a structured starting point so you can:

communicate professionally;

keep better records;

prepare before meetings;

identify missing information;

create a clear timeline;

avoid sending rushed or emotional correspondence.

Important information

The templates are editable and should always be adapted to your own circumstances.
