Writing Personnel Actions
Drafting Notices of Adverse Action, Rejection Medical, and "Without Fault" Actions

Overview:

The Notices of Adverse Action, Rejection During Probationary Period, Medical Termination (Demotion or Transfer), and "Without Fault" Termination (Demotion or Transfer) are an essential component of the State's disciplinary, rejection and other processes. These Notices must comply with legal requirements and directives set forth by the State Personnel Board in policy statements and precedential decisions. Additionally, departments may choose to include "sections" and language to provide information to the subject employee. Of critical importance are the "acts or omissions" for which the employee is being disciplined, rejected etc. This one-day class will address all of the above, as well as the processes by which an employee is served with a Notice, the documents which must accompany a Notice, and the applicable timelines for service and filing with SPB.

Objective:

This class provides participants with an understanding of what is required and optional for inclusion in a Notice, as well as what constitutes proper service. The result will be a document that is legally correct and professional in appearance and content.

Intended Audience:

This class is designed for departmental staff who are responsible for drafting Notices. Staff who prepare the "package" for the individual who drafts the Notice, as well as those who review the Notice, may benefit from this class.

Tuition:

$145 per participant
