Appeals & Grievances
The Promotion Appeals & Grievance Reviews area (PA&GR) handles NTPS employee concerns about:
- treatment in the workplace;
- termination of employment on probation;
- selection processes
- conditions of service;
- provisional promotions;
- disciplinary actions; and
- inability actions.
Appeal and grievance review processes provide employees with the opportunity to seek independent consideration of actions or decisions by agencies. PA&GR independently and impartially reviews practices and decisions, providing feedback and recommendations for future action to employees and agencies.
