The Appeals Procedure provides employees with a framework within which they can appeal against a decision made by your business following a hearing, if they believe the decision was wrong or unjust. The policy is not part of the contract of employment but employees should be made aware of its existence when joining your business.

Legally, all employees should have the chance to appeal against decisions made against them in relation to either disciplinary, grievance or capability. Therefore, having an Appeals Procedure within your business is a legal requirement.

This Appeals Procedure is comprehensive, yet written in plain English to ensure understanding by all parties. It covers all the necessary points to ensure compliance with current employment law:

- Introduction and Purpose

- Explanation of the process

- Explanation of possible outcomes

- Placeholders for names of key people in the business who operate the policy
