Expert Tips on How to Write an Appeal Letter

As worries about unemployment continue to grow and more cases of unfair dismissal continue to go to tribunal, new research from leading employment law experts, www.youremploymentmatters.co.uk shows that turning to a professional can save you considerably more in the long run.

Thursday, 2nd June, 2011: Analysis of appeal letters by employment law experts Your Employment Matters has shown that professionally written letters have a far better outcome of success than those written by claimants themselves.

Research conducted among Your Employment Matters clients has shown that professionally written letters are up to 50 per cent more likely to lead to a successful appeal.

Caroline Harper from Your Employment Matters explains;

“An appeal letter is extremely important as part of any disciplinary hearing or tribunal regarding unfair dismissal – getting it wrong can have a devastating effect on the outcome of your claim.

“Our success rate for claims when we have written the appeal letter on behalf of clients is 50 per cent higher than where clients write the letters themselves and only then turn to the professionals for advice when that appeal has been rejected. The sad fact is that by then it is sometimes too late to make a successful appeal as many of the normal avenues of complaint have been exhausted.”

It is all too easy for your emotions to cloud your judgment when writing an appeal letter, so for a small fee a professional can make sure your letter reads well with proper spelling and grammar.

Continues Harper;

“For a small fee you get piece of mind that the letter will read well, with all the correct terminology in place – after all, getting the tone and content right in your letter now can pay dividends down the line in making a successful appeal.”

Failure to appeal can still result in any award made at a Tribunal being reduced by up to 25%.
