During this window, employees may appeal the grade of their job in the new structure by submitting their information through an online appeal form for third-party review. Once submitted, HR will send the appeal and supporting grade and market data to you, your supervisor and to a third party hearing officer. Next, you will be scheduled for an appeal hearing. After the hearing officer hears the appeal, they will prepare a final report and submit it to the HR Director. Finally, the HR Director will review the Hearing Officer s report and make the final determination. his appeals process will not be able to resolve issues related to inaccurate job descriptions or salary concerns associated with current pay, pay inequity or pay compression.
