Unclassified Applicant Appeal Process

The Human Resources Talent Acquisition (TA) division is committed to maintaining fairness and transparency in our hiring practices. We believe in providing equal opportunities to all applicants and ensuring that every candidate is evaluated based on their qualifications and merit.

Appeal Process for Minimum Qualifications

If an applicant feels that they have been unjustly disqualified based on minimum qualifications for an unclassified job opportunity, they have the right to appeal the decision. However, it is essential to follow the outlined appeal procedures and adhere to the specified timelines.

Key Points to Note:

• Appeals must be submitted within 5 business days after receiving the initial rejection notice.
• Late appeals will not be accepted.
• All appeal-related documents should be retained by the applicant for their records.
• Appeals based on the failure of any background screening process will be automatically denied.
