UNISON CITY OF EDINBURGH BRANCH STEWARDS
GUIDANCE - JOB EVALUATION APPEALS
Click
here for a pdf version of this guidance but note the
extended deadline of 10 January 2011 due to the extension
of the employer's deadline
The following guidance is to assist stewards
when advising members on how best to complete the pro-forma
for job evaluation appeals.
Before a member submits an appeal they should
make sure they have the following documentation:
- A copy of the job description that was evaluated
- Details of whether the post has been evaluated or allocated
- A copy of the job profile the post has been allocated
to
- A copy of the job evaluation scores
Make sure that the reasons for the appeal
are clearly defined and correspond to the reasons on the
pro forma.
Remember that posts currently under review
cannot be subject to an appeal. These posts will be re-evaluated
once a new job description has been agreed.
Collective or group appeals should be subject
to a full discussion with all members affected.
In group appeals a member should be identified
who is willing to be the contact person and be present at
the appeal hearing.
Stewards should liaise directly with the appeals
team on behalf of their members. Detailed analysis of the
scores should not form part of the appeal submission at
the initial stage.
All appeals should be submitted to the
branch office by Monday 10 January 2011 at the latest.
