A person who files an appeal is called an appellant. An appeal is a request to review a challenged action. Any regular or probationary civil service status employee in the classified service or job seeker may appeal a challenged action.
An appeal may challenge the merits of an appealable action, or allege discriminatory action in violation of Act 71 of 2018 (Civil Service Reform).
A non-civil service employee may only appeal a non-selection for appointment, promotion, or eligibility determination.
