The simplest, quickest and most satisfactory solution often will be reached at this level. If the discussion with his/her supervisor does not answer his/her question or resolves the matter to his/her satisfaction within two or three days, he/she may then present his/her case to the Manager of your department or to the Head of HRD. At this point, if the matter is still not resolved satisfactorily, you may represent your case in writing to the Managing Director who will investigate it and make the final. Difficulties if any in using this complaint procedure should be brought to the attention of the Head of HRD.
