10. APPEALS

All disciplinary procedures should give employees the right to appeal. An employer who fails to allow an appeal will be in breach of the Acas Code of practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures and any compensation awarded by a tribunal may be increased by up to 25%.

The Acas Code says that appeals must be heard without unreasonable delay and at an agreed time and place (see Chapter 1).
