What happens if the employee is dissatisfied with the employers decision?
The employee must be given the right to appeal against refusal of the request. Once a request has been made, the employee can only make a further request to the same employer after 12 months have elapsed. The employee can also make an application to the tribunal. There will be two grounds for complaint. The first will be that the employer’s refusal is based on incorrect facts. The second ground will be that the employer has failed to follow the correct procedure.
