Chapter 3 – Personnel, Training, and Employee Relations

33030.10 Employee Representation Rights

• Employees with permanent or probationary status (regardless of time base) are entitled to representation at all stages of the adverse action process. This representation may be provided by the exclusive representative (union) for rank-and-file employees. For all non-represented employees, a personal advisor, attorney, or another state employee may attend the interview that may lead to adverse action. This is appropriate during Skelly or appeal hearings related to the adverse action. Employees who are possible subjects or witnesses in the investigation are excluded as employee representatives.
