Document background
A Formal Complaint About A Colleague is a crucial document in Belgian workplace dispute resolution, designed to address serious workplace issues that cannot be resolved through informal channels. This document is utilized when an employee needs to formally report misconduct, harassment, discrimination, or other inappropriate behavior by a colleague, following the requirements set forth in Belgian labor law, particularly the Well-being at Work Act and the Law on Protection Against Violence and Moral or Sexual Harassment at Work. The document must be detailed and factual, including specific incidents, dates, witness information, and supporting evidence, while maintaining professional objectivity. It serves as the foundation for formal investigation procedures and may be referenced in legal proceedings if necessary. The document should be submitted to appropriate authorities within the organization, such as HR or a prevention advisor, and may trigger formal investigation procedures under Belgian workplace regulations.
