Appeals & Grievances
The process for State employees to file an appeal, grievance, complaint, or otherwise protest an action varies according to the subject area and employment category.
The Dept. of Personnel Administration handles two types of appeals - contract grievances and non-merit statutory appeals. In addition, the State Personnel Board handles several other types of appeals.
Contract Grievances
If you're a rank-and-file employee, check your bargaining unit contract for the specific process that applies to you. DPA's Labor Relations Division handles grievances.

Non-Merit Statutory Appeals
This category of appeal is best described with examples, which this section includes. This section also includes a description of DPA's hearing process and some final decisions on non-merit statutory appeals. These appeals are handled by DPA's Statutory Appeals Unit.
Other Appeals
A larger number of appeals are under the jurisdiction of the State Personnel Board.
