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.
