Appellate authority allocation governs employee challenges to disciplinary orders, with special routes for common proceedings and conflicted decision-makers.

Appellate authority for disciplinary orders depends on the identity of the competent authority that made the order. Employees and former employees may appeal specified orders to the Authority, the Chairperson or a whole-time member, or the concerned Executive Director, as applicable. Appeals from common disciplinary proceedings follow a special route to the immediately superior authority. If the order-maker subsequently becomes the appellate authority, the appeal must be made to that person's immediately superior authority.
