no a penalty cannot be increased by an appeals manager . You can only lose your appeal or win and have a lesser punishment or indeed be exonerated

Sounds like the `classic` management bullshit of"if you appeal I can increase the penalty" is still alive and well in RM these twats reel out on a regular basis to stop people appealing. :roll:
Feck them request every bit of paper to do with your case, bury them under paperwork. :speak to the hand
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

would this also be the case if a Gross Misconduct charge which recieved a 2 year serious warning but the appeals manager states that it can be increased to a suspended dismissal penalty.

No at the appeal stage appeals manager can UPHOLD, REDUCE, or REVOKE the decision but CANNOT increase as previously posted by " Whiperstar 24".
