Disciplinary Appeal Letter

"I need to draft a Disciplinary Appeal Letter to challenge my final written warning received on January 15, 2025, focusing on new evidence that wasn't considered during the original hearing and highlighting procedural irregularities in how the disciplinary process was conducted."

Document background
The Disciplinary Appeal Letter is a crucial document in employment dispute resolution under English and Welsh law. It should be used when an employee wishes to formally challenge a disciplinary decision, typically within the timeframe specified in their employment contract or company policy (usually 5-10 working days after the original decision). The letter must clearly state the grounds for appeal, reference relevant policies or procedures, provide supporting evidence, and specify the desired outcome. It forms part of the formal record and may be relevant in any subsequent employment tribunal proceedings.
Suggested Sections

1. Recipient Details: Full name, position, and address of the recipient (usually HR manager or relevant authority)

2. Reference Information: Date of original disciplinary decision and any reference numbers

3. Clear Statement of Appeal: Clear indication that this is an appeal against a disciplinary decision

4. Grounds for Appeal: Specific reasons why the disciplinary decision is being challenged

5. Supporting Evidence: Reference to any evidence supporting the appeal

6. Requested Outcome: Clear statement of what outcome is being sought

Optional Sections

1. Witness Statements Reference: Reference to witness statements when witnesses can support the appeal grounds

2. Union Representation Reference: Reference to union involvement when a union is representing the employee

3. Previous Correspondence Reference: Reference to relevant previous communications when there's significant prior correspondence

Suggested Schedules

1. Original Disciplinary Decision: Copy of the original disciplinary decision being appealed

2. Supporting Documents: Any relevant evidence supporting the appeal grounds

3. Witness Statements: Written statements from witnesses if applicable

4. Company Policies: Relevant sections of company policies being referenced
