Disciplinary Appeal
Disciplinary Appeal
Employees should be offered the opportunity to appeal against the outcome of the disciplinary hearing, this is according to the ACAS Code of practice, and the employer should inform the employee of their options. The appeal should be dealt with by a manager who has not been involved in the case.
The staff member is also entitled to be accompanied at an appeal hearing by a work colleague or a trade union representative.
Therefore it’s important for employers to have a well thought out case for the employees disciplinary – this way appealing the decision is more difficult and results in being less time consuming.
Take the hassle out of dealing with disciplinaries. Get tailored support to suit your needs, whether you need help you with a specific area of the process or someone to take the job off your hands.
