The Commission upheld a firefighter’s thirty-day suspension for failing to comply with two orders to attend medical examinations and two orders to meet with the Deputy Chief to explain the absences.
The Commission denied a Section 42 Procedural Appeal brought by a Firefighter terminated from his position with the Quincy Fire Department (QFD), concluding that the Appellant had not been prejudiced by the failure of the Appointing Authority to reopen the appointing authority hearing prior to his termination.
The Commission accepted the Recommended Decision of the DALA Magistrate and affirmed the City's decision to terminate the Appellant as a firefighter based on his chronic absenteeism, tardiness and poor performance.
The Civil Service Commission denied the Appellant’s appeal to be reclassified from Recreation Therapist III to Program Coordinator III, as she failed to show that she performed the level distinguishing duties of a PC III a majority of the time.
