Disciplinary, Dismissal & Grievance Procedures

Guidance for employers

Appeal

If the employee is still dissatisfied, he or she should tell the employer that he or she wishes to appeal against the decision or lack of one. You must arrange a meeting to discuss the appeal. If possible a manager more senior than the manager who chaired the grievance meeting should chair the appeal meeting. If the size of your firm makes this impossible you will need to make an extra effort to deal with the matter impartially. After the meeting you should tell the employee of your decision, making it clear that it is final.
