Administrative History

Civil service law allows any State employee disciplined by a penalty of demotion, dismissal, suspension without pay, or fine to appeal such determination to the Civil Service Commission or the courts.

The appellant is required to file a written appeal within twenty days of receiving the written determination of his original case. The Commission reviews the record of the case and may allow the submission of additional statements or arguments by the appellant, the body whose determination is under review, or their attorneys. The Commission can and usually does designate a deputy or employee to review a case, take additional statements or arguments, and report back to the Commission.
