the appeal itself

the body of the appeal letter sets out the details of the appeal. this includes:

• why the employee is appealing against the employer’s decision

• evidence to support the appeal

• whether the employee wants to be accompanied to the appeal hearing

if you want your appeal letter to include further or more detailed provisions, you can edit your document. however, if you do this, you may want a lawyer to review or change the letter for you, to make sure it complies with all relevant laws and meets your specific needs. ask a lawyer for assistance.

check relevant policies or documents before making an appeal

before you send an appeal letter to your employer, check your employer’s relevant policies (eg their grievance procedure or staff handbook). if your employer does not have relevant documents in place, follow the acas code of practice. note that this does not apply in cases of redundancy or to the non-renewal of fixed-term contracts on their expiry. if you have any questions, ask a lawyer and read appealing decisions made by employers.

understand when to seek advice from a lawyer

ask a lawyer if:

• this document doesn’t cover your specific needs

• you are unsure whether you have legitimate grounds for a challenge to the initial decision

• your employer does not allow you to appeal or is acting unreasonably
