What is a Disciplinary outcome appeal letter?
A Disciplinary Outcome Appeal Letter is a formal letter written by an employee to appeal against a disciplinary action taken against them. The letter typically outlines the reasons why the decision was unfair or unjust, and requests a reconsideration of the outcome.
The letter may include a detailed explanation of the events leading up to the disciplinary action, any mitigating circumstances that may have influenced the decision, and any evidence or documentation that supports the appeal. It may also include a proposed alternative disciplinary outcome that the appellant believes would be more appropriate.
Within the timescale set out in the disciplinary decision letter.
