Appeals against dismissal
All employees have the right to appeal their dismissal. Any appeal must be submitted in writing to the Director of HR within ten working days of receiving the written decision to dismiss.
The appeal letter must state the grounds for appeal. The acceptable grounds for appeal are:
- The procedure was unfair, and/or the correct procedure was not followed.
- The decision was unfair or unreasonable, as the evidence did not support the decision.
- The action taken against the employee was too severe for the offense.
- New evidence has become available that was not available at the original hearing.
