http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mr-jim-walker-appeal-letter-1 1/2

I am appealing the decision on the following grounds.

a. I feel that a Final Written Warning is too harsh for the o ence.

b. It was stated at the disciplinary hearing that I had alreadyreceived a written warning on the 19 th December 2 1!" I didindeed attend a disciplinary meeting in December but as far as Iwas aware I was not given any written con#rmation of anywarning" if I was given a warning then I would li$e to see proof of the con#rmation letter as I never received a letter and assumedthat I was not given any sanction due to not receiving a letterwhich I assume is the standard procedure.

c. I would li$e to bring to your attention the length of time thewhole process from me being suspended on the 11 th of %uly 2 1&until the #nal disciplinary hearing on the 19 th of 'ugust 2 1&which I found to be very stressful and unnecessarily prolonged.During this prolonged period I should have been on two wee$sannual holiday" however due to me being informed by letter that

I had to be available at very short notice to attend any companydisciplinary meeting my family su ered as I could not proceedon holiday and we lost out #nancially as we had family tic$et(s to)lac$pool *leasure )each" and the )lac$pool +oo" I can producethe tic$ets if re,uired.

d. I was disciplined on a failure of not carrying out a process" I #ndthis being a case of -double standards for the following reasons.

1. I have not had a *ersonal Development *lan for well overa year /a company process0

2. I have not got an amended contract for the roll I wasdoing whilst I was disciplined" I have been in my new rollsince 'ugust 2 1!.

!. I have not received a new %ob oll *ro#le when I movedfrom the position of eam 3eader to 4ash oom5upervisor.

&. During the disciplinary process I as$ed on numerousoccasions for a copy of the documents listed above but to

date I still have not received any of them" on the 19 th of'ugust during my return to wor$ Interview I again raised

the issue of my missing documents with 6evin obertsonmy 4luster 7anager who informed me that he wouldcontact 8 department and at this stage I still have notbeen furnished with a copy of the documents.

I also as$ed 4aroline to furnish me with a copy of all thesuspension meeting and disciplinary meeting notes" I wasinformed that they would not be given to me as they were7anagement notes" I would li$e an e planation on the reason Iwas made to sign the notes. I have consulted with '4'5 andthey have con#rmed that I am entitled to a copy of all notesta$en during the meetings.

:. I would also li$e to bring to your attention that I $nowother members of the ;lasgow team have not signed $eysout on <ccasions but it seems that I am the only person inthe team who has been disciplined for not carrying out theprocess.

a. During the #nal stage of the disciplinary procedure it was put tothat if - I accepted a vacant position based at ;lasgow 'irport"on lower salary" alternating shift pattern that I would receive nosanction /Final Written Warning0 but if I did not accept thisposition and I return to my normal location in ;lasgow 4ity then

there would be a sanction /Final Written Warning0. I #nd thisunacceptable that there is two outcomes to the disciplinaryprocedure depending on which course of action I too$"

b. I would also li$e to appeal on the procedure of the #naldisciplinary meeting as I feel that 4aroline had already made herdecision before the meeting was started" there was noad=ournment during the procedure after I had given all myreasons and evidence to give proper consideration.
