The Letter of Reprimand (LOR) Appeal Process for bargaining unit employees – career status

Filing an LOR appeal

Reprimands may be grieved through Step 3 (Agency Level) of the negotiated grievance procedure. If the Union or employee is dissatisfied with the response at Step 3, the Step 3 decision may be appealed within ten (10) calendar days to the Director of the State Personnel Office or his/her designee. At his/her option the Director or designee may meet with the agency representative, the employee and his/her representative or conduct a paper review of the agency decision.

Process for your appeal

A notice of appeal must be submitted in writing and filed with the State Personnel Director no later than 10 calendar days from the date of the level 3 response. The notice of appeal should include: employee name, mailing address and a telephone number, and contact information for the employee’s representative (if appropriate). A copy of the final LOR must accompany the notice of appeal along with:
  • A statement outlining the issues and reasons for the appeal;
  • Copies of all steps of the grievance and all the responses to each step of the grievance;
  • Copies of all additional supporting documentation to the LOR.
