Central office - 165 Capitol Avenue,

Organizational structure - The Board is composed of
seven members appointed by the Governor, who
serve on a part-time basis, and are paid on a per diem basis.
Its mission is to hear and
decide personnel appeals of state managers and confidential employees, which
groups are ineligible for collective bargaining. Appeals or disputes involve
such issues as dismissals, suspensions, longevity pay, lay-off and denial of promotions.
The Board has had six (6) bi-monthly Board Meetings to deal with personnel, budgetary, policy and procedure
issues. The Board is current with all
appeal hearings and there is no backlog.
The Board has eliminated undue cost by eliminating previously
occupied office space at One Hartford Square West, Hartford, CT, and merging
its department within the Department of Administrative Services located at 165
Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT. The
Office of Policy and Management (OPM) has eliminated the Board’s one part-time
secretary and replaced her with the Board Chairwoman and the part-time help of
DAS personnel.
The Board’s principal objectives for the next fiscal year is
to continue to hear appeals in a timely and expeditious
manner so as not to create the backlog experienced by the
previous Board. The Board is in the
process of preparing and implementing changes to the
regulations.
This Board has complied with all federal and state
requirements regarding affirmative action
and equal opportunity. The members of
the Board are: Robin E. Miller,
Chairperson, Stonington, Laurie G. Cain, Esq., Simsbury, David A. Dee, Esq.,
Avon, Wendella A. Battey, Esq., Bloomfield and Richard M. McCostis, Esq.,
