Workplace Social Media Policy Grievance Form

Challenge Workplace Social Media Policies with a Professional Grievance Form

When workplace social media policies interfere with protected rights, employees need a clear, structured way to file formal grievances. This Workplace Social Media Policy Grievance Form template provides a comprehensive framework for documenting complaints related to social media restrictions, privacy violations, and potential NLRA (National Labor Relations Act) protected concerted activity.

Built for HR departments, legal teams, and employee relations professionals, this template helps organizations collect detailed information about social media-related grievances while ensuring compliance with labor laws and protecting both employee and employer rights.

Why This Form Matters

Social media has become a critical intersection of employee rights and workplace policies. The NLRA protects employees' rights to engage in "concerted activity" for mutual aid or protection—which can include discussing wages, working conditions, or organizing efforts on social media platforms. Many employees are unaware that overly broad social media policies may violate these protected rights.

This form helps organizations:

• Document NLRA protected activity claims with proper legal framework
• Investigate privacy violation complaints systematically
• Handle termination or disciplinary action challenges professionally
• Maintain compliance with federal labor laws and employment regulations
• Create an audit trail for legal and HR purposes

How Paperform Streamlines Employee Relations
