A disciplinary appeal is a formal process in which an employee or student contests a disciplinary action taken against them by their employer or school. Disciplinary actions can range from verbal warnings to suspensions to termination of employment or expulsion from school. Employees or students who believe that they have been unfairly disciplined may choose to file an appeal in order to have the decision reviewed and potentially overturned.
There are many potential benefits to filing a disciplinary appeal. A successful appeal can result in the overturning of the original disciplinary action, the reduction of the penalty, or even the removal of the disciplinary action from the employee’s or student’s record. In addition, filing an appeal can provide employees or students with an opportunity to voice their concerns and to have their side of the story heard.
