what to put in appeal letter

FBaby

Oh that one. Well many posters did say you were risking being dismissed and thought it wasn't unreasonable, so don't see you have much of a case for appeal. Nothing to lose though.

Ah - yes. The OP seems to have a strange idea about what does and doesn't impact on their employment. Most people - and most employers - would consider that fraudulently obtaining a loan from your employer had quite a lot to do with your employment. It's a bit disingenuous to claim it has no impact on their ability to do their job. What employer would be setting a precedent that said it would be ok for staff to do this provided they hadn't done it before!?

I cannot see the employer changing their mind.

I wouldn't allow your appeal when fraud is involved

Are you being prosecuted for fraud? In one of your other threads you said you expected to have a criminal conviction very soon.

OP's other thread ...

Cheers, hadn't made the connection myself, in that case I think dismissal is a severe but appropriate outcome. I haven't reread the original thread but as I recall the OP didn't really get how serious this was, perhaps he knows now.

Unfortunately, I think an appeal at this stage would be useless. You say in your update on the other thread that they completely disregarded the 'mitigating circumstances' you tried to put forward. The only appeal argument you could possibly muster would be those same mitigating circumstances that have already been disregarded. Sorry, but this outcome was always a good possibility. Companies do not take kindly to being misled, for any reason. Regardless of how much money was involved, it was dishonesty and clearly, your employer believes so also. I think the best you can do is try to move on. There is no way you will get this job back.
