Civil Service Decisions

The Commission dismissed the appeal of a Signal Maintainer for the Town of Milton as he had no reasonable expectation of showing that the Town engaged in any civil service procedural violations and the undisputed facts show that he engaged in insubordination, justifying the Town’s imposition of a one-day suspension.

The Commission dismissed as moot the Appellant's education and experience appeal related to a DOC Head Chef examination as HRD awarded the Appellant with the points he was seeking.

The Commission dismissed the appeal of a Boston firefighter, who was discharged for making racist comments directed at a black colleague while he was drunk and off-duty. The Commission found that the Boston Fire Department had proven that the Appellant had not been denied a fair Section 41 hearing.

The Commission dismissed the Appellant’s promotional bypass appeal as no bypass occurred. Rather, the Appellant was not selected by DOC for a provisional appointment to the position of Recreation Officer II.

The Superior Court affirmed the Commission’s decision to uphold the termination of a North Attleborough firefighter.

The Commission affirmed the discharge of a North Attleborough firefighter, after he committed multiple acts of domestic violence against two women. Although one of the acts took place following the firefighters discharge, it was considered when affirming the disciplinary action from North Attleborough.
