Download our templates for appeal
If you are unhappy with an element of your evaluation and promotion, or have the impression of having been treated unfairly, you have 15 working days to file an appeal against every one of the three evaluation and promotion elements: appraisal – level – points.
Last year’s promises not fulfilled?
4/5 points attributed, where you need 6 for a normal career?
Placed in performance level III or IV?
To assist you with the formulation of an appeal, R&D proposes seven templates which should cover the majority of cases typically encountered. This list is not exhaustive.
Please note:
In 2010, nearly 4000 appeals were launched. Roughly 30% of these appeals were treated favorably in the Joint Committees and Working Groups, leading to additional points attributed and in some very rare cases to changes of performance level. So it might be worth for you to consider your options this year.
Appeal provisions in 2011 unchanged
You may ask for an ‘information dialogue’ with your countersigning officer (he may delegate to the Head of Unit) to get explanations about your evaluation and promotion. Points or texts would not be changed in the course of such a pure ’information dialogue’.
You can withdraw your appeal in SysPer at every stage, if you change your mind.
If in doubt, please get in touch with an R&D HelpDesk specialist (see list on our website), or contact directly the R&D Helpdesk by e-mail at the mailbox REP PERS OSP R&D or by phone 55676.
