Administrative History

Disciplinary actions against most executive branch state employees are governed by negotiated agreements between the state and the various unions that represent these employees. Except for CSEA-represented employees, appeals of "Notices of Discipline" are currently resolved through arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator's decisions are final.

Since 1986, the Governor's Office of Employee Relations (GOER) has administered the disciplinary appeals process for Civil Service Employee Association (CSEA) employees under a special state-union agreement. Regular CSEA disciplinary appeals by employees who have received a Notice of Discipline are conducted by arbitrators, often but not always, from the American Arbitration Association. Time and attendance appeals are handled through a set of expedited procedures using "umpires."
