It is not possible to contest FM/BP-251 - Late Cancellation Penalties (LCP) or FM/BP-252 - Late Arrival Penalties (LAP) under any circumstance except where an error has been made by the Field Leader in reporting it (for example incorrect lateness). In this case contact the Field Leader initially and escalate if required.
Any person incurring FM/BP-253 - No Show Penalties (NSP) can contact their Chain of Command with their reasoning and request removal of the reprimand, should their chain of command approve then the total penalty is reduced by 120 seconds once the NSP is removed.
The LCP penalty still applies as exceptional circumstances cannot be used to reduce or remove LCP fatigue. Only one NSP reprimand is permitted to be removed due to exceptional circumstances per 6 months per dossier.
