When an appeal is taken by an employee in the classified service pursuant to R.S. 33:2561 to a municipal, parish, or fire protection district fire and police civil service board and the board determines, in reversing the decision of the appointing authority, that the corrective or disciplinary action taken by the appointing authority was without just cause as provided in R.S. 33:2561, the board may award to the appealing employee attorney fees to be assessed against the appointing authority not to exceed five thousand dollars in any one appeal.
