Doug Gardiner is appealing the conclusions of Mr. Jean-Marc Penelon regarding his grievance letters. He disagrees with most of the findings and some actions. Specifically, he notes that an email cited regarding an absence policy was from 2007 and superseded, he was bullied and harassed by Mr. John Baxevanidis without following formal procedures, and unauthorized deductions were made from his pay. He asks Mr. Torres to either hold a further investigation or stand by the previous conclusions, in which case Doug will take the matters to the next step.

1. Date 12/02/11 Appeal Letter Doug Gardiner
Dear Mr Torres
I would like to exercise my right to appeal to the "conclusions" to my grievance letters
of Mr Jean-Marc Penelon as I disagree, with most of his findings and some of his actions. To
save time however I will only list afew key notes here.
Please see my notes below.
Email dated Feb 2007 regarding unauthorised absence policy.
This is the first time this document has been referred to for 4 years, also it is superseded
by the company handbook dated June 2007.
So the contents are irrelevant.
1) I wasbullied and harassedby Mr John Baxevanidis.
2) Formal disciplinary procedures were not followed.
(Ref ACAS Code of Practice 1 Disciplinary & Grievance Procedures)
3) Unauthorised deductions were made from my pay.
a) If you agree or do not understand you should hold a further investigation promptly.
b) If you disagree and stand by Mr Jean-MarcPenelon's conclusion document.
Then the grievance procedure is exhaustedand I have no other option but to take these
and other matters to the next step.
I look forward to a prompt reply.
You can call me anytime on my mobile +447973172405. Or e-mail - doug.gardiner@tiscali.co.uk
Yours Sincerely
