Why this letter is necessary

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.

  • Employment Rights Act 1996: Provides guidelines on the right for employees to appeal disciplinary decisions.

  • Equality Act 2010: Ensures fair treatment during the appeal process, prohibiting discrimination based on protected characteristics.

  • ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures: Offers best practices for handling disciplinary appeals, promoting procedural fairness.

  • Data Protection Act 2018: Ensures that employee data related to disciplinary appeals is handled securely and confidentially.
