The Civil Service Commission is an independent, neutral appellate tribunal and investigative entity. We hear and decide appeals filed by certain state and municipal employees and candidates for positions covered by the civil service law, including discipline, layoff, bypass, examination and classification appeals, in addition to conducting investigations related to alleged violations of the civil service law.
