Appeals

The Public Service Management Law, 2005, makes provision for civil servants to appeal to the Civil Service Appeals Commission (CSAC) about a personnel-related decision of their chief officer.

What is an Appeal?

An Appeal is a written document asking the CSAC to review an employment-related decision of a chief officer of a civil service entity which the appellant considers treats him or her unfairly.

Before agreeing to consider an Appeal, CSAC will satisfy itself that there are sufficient grounds for the Appeal.   

Who may Lodge an Appeal?

Only civil servants (i.e. existing employees of government) may lodge an appeal with the CSAC.  

This means that a person who is not a civil servant, and who has unsuccessfully applied for a position as a civil servant, may not lodge an appeal.

Similarly, employees of statutory authorities and government companies are not civil servants and are therefore not covered by the CSAC appeals process.
