The Commission affirmed the 10-day suspension of a New Bedford school-lunch delivery driver after finding that his attendance record was egregiously poor for the past five years. This is the second rejected appeal by the Commission submitted in the previous 18-months by the Appellant for absenteeism.
The Commission dismissed the Appellant's non-bypass equity appeal as he was not bypassed for appointment and an investigation by the Commission regarding his non-selection is not warranted.
The Commission denied the reclassification appeal of three MassDOT employees seeking to be reclassified as Compliance Officer IIIs as they were unable to show that they performed the level-distinguishing duties of that title more than 50% of the time.
The Commission dismissed the appeal of a probationary Holyoke firefighter who was terminated based on performance related reasons as the Commission lacks jurisdiction to hear the appeal of civil service employees who have not completed their probationary period.
The Commission allowed the appeal of a state employee seeking reclassification to the position of Forester II as he performs the level distinguishing duties of this classification more than 50% of the time and he performs the supervisory responsibilities associated with this position.
