Denials

If an employee’s appeal is denied, they may request reconsideration of the denial from the State Human Resources Director. This request must be made in writing to the State Human Resources Director and submitted within 30 calendar days of the employee’s receipt of the denial.

The employee may also appeal the State Human Resource Director’s denial to the Administrative Law Court. This appeal must be initiated within 30 calendar days of receipt of the initial denial or the receipt of the response to a request for reconsideration, if applicable. Employees are not required to seek reconsideration before filing an appeal with the Administrative Law Court.

Committee Decisions and Arbitrator Decisions

An employee or agency may ask the State Employee Grievance Committee or arbitrator to reconsider their decision within 30 days from receipt of the decision.

If the employee or agency requests reconsideration and the Committee or arbitrator upholds their decision, the employee or agency may, within 30 days from receipt of the reconsideration decision, appeal directly to the Administrative Law Court.

Employees and agencies are not required to seek reconsideration before filing an appeal with the Administrative Law Court.

An agency must seek approval to appeal to the Administrative Law Court. Please contact the Division of State Human Resources' Alternative Dispute Resolution Program for information about this approval process.
