Employee Termination Dispute Form

Challenge Your Termination Decision with a Professional Dispute Form

Facing an unexpected or unjust termination is one of the most stressful workplace situations an employee can encounter. If you believe your termination was unfair, discriminatory, or violated company policy or employment law, having a clear, structured process for filing a dispute is essential.

This Employee Termination Dispute Form template helps HR departments, legal teams, and union representatives manage termination appeals with professionalism and compliance. Built for organizations that value fair workplace processes, this form captures all the critical information needed to review and investigate termination disputes—from separation details and grounds for appeal to witness statements and union representation requests.

Why HR teams and employment lawyers choose Paperform

Paperform's flexible form builder lets you customize this template to match your organization's dispute resolution procedures, brand guidelines, and legal requirements. The doc-style editor makes it easy to add or remove sections, adjust conditional logic based on termination type, and create a form that feels professional and approachable during what can be a difficult time for employees.

Built-in conditional logic ensures employees only see relevant questions based on their situation—whether they're appealing for wrongful termination, discrimination, breach of contract, or procedural violations. You can route submissions to different reviewers, trigger different workflows in Stepper for union-represented versus non-union cases, and maintain detailed records for compliance and audit purposes.

Streamline dispute workflows with intelligent automation

Once a dispute is submitted, time is often of the essence. With Paperform's native integrations and Stepper workflow automation, you can automatically notify HR managers, legal counsel, and union representatives the moment a dispute is filed. Route cases to the appropriate review committee, log submissions in your HRIS or case management system, schedule initial review meetings, and send acknowledgment emails—all without manual data entry.

Papersign integration also allows you to collect secure eSignatures on settlement agreements, mediation outcomes, or revised termination documentation, keeping your entire dispute resolution process connected and compliant.

Whether you're a mid-sized company building out your employee relations infrastructure or a large organization standardizing your appeals process across multiple locations, this template provides a professional, legally sound foundation for handling termination disputes with transparency and fairness.
