Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to page 113 of the HM Revenue and Customs Annual Report and Accounts 2016-17, whether staff subject to formal warnings under the attendance management policy submit and progress appeals in accordance with the provisions set out in paragraphs 26 to 29 of the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures.
In line with the requirements of the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures, an employee subject to formal warnings under the attendance management policy has a right of appeal at each formal decision point of the attendance management process. The HMRC appeals procedure is available to all employees via the HMRC intranet and clearly sets out the process and route via an impartial appeal manager.
