9. Review of Decision Regarding SAE
If an employee’s application for SAE has been rejected at application, interview or at the end of the work trial they can ask for the decision to be reviewed by the Director of the recruiting Department or nominated representative with advice from the Assistant Chief Executive (People, Digital and Policy) or nominated representative.
A review of decision can be requested on one of two grounds:
Unsubstantiated Comment
This is where the candidate perceives that the assessment for SAE is based on assumptions or comments regarding their suitability and/or performance, which cannot be supported by evidence.
Failure to follow procedures
This is where it can be evidenced that the correct procedures and principles of the Redeployment Process have not been followed.
The request for a review of decision must be made in writing to the Assistant Chief Executive (People, Digital and Policy) within 7 calendar days of the SAE Assessment outcome or failure to follow procedure and must set out the reasons for the request for a review.
The Director or nominated representative will review the decision with advice from the Assistant Chief Executive (People, Digital and Policy) and confirm the outcome to the candidate without undue delay.
