Appeal

If you’ve received an appeal letter from an employee over a disciplinary grievance, flexible working request, or other outcome, you’ll need to appoint an independent and impartial Appeal Hearing Officer.

Their role is to Chair the Appeal hearing, which includes reviewing the appeal reasons, reviewing the process and information that led to the outcome, and determining the final appeal outcome. This process brings with it a whole load of legal requirements and can be a minefield to navigate. Getting it wrong can be costly.

We can help you through the challenges of appeal hearings and beyond; taking a coaching approach to help you from start to end, including the paperwork.

You can appoint us to carry out the Appeal Hearing Officer role, or alternatively if you appoint a manager in-house to undertake this role, we can provide them with advice & guidance on employment law, process, and best practice during the appeal.

We’re experienced in complex casework and will support the appeal fairly and thoroughly. We’ll get to the bottom of what happened, put recommendations in place, and can support you to deliver on any actions.

Let us do what we do best and get you through the tough times. We’re professional, pragmatic, and supportive, to everyone involved. Contact us to get your free 30 minute consultation call to discuss how we can help you.
