N.D. Admin Code 4-07-24-08 - Merit system application appeals to human resource management services
1. If an applicant
is a regular employee and does not agree with the response of the agency
appointing authority, the applicant may further appeal the disqualification to
human resource management services. A letter of appeal must be addressed to the
Director, Human Resource Management Services, 600 East Boulevard Avenue, Dept.
113, Bismarck, ND 58505-0120, and must be delivered, mailed, or transmitted by
electronic means and must be received in the human resource management services
office by five o'clock p.m. within fifteen working days of service of the
notice of the agency's response to the appeal. The date of service of the
notice shall be considered to be the date the notice was mailed or the date
transmitted by electronic means, or absent proof of the date of mailing or
delivery through electronic means, the date of actual delivery. The agency
shall prepare a certificate of service or provide reliable means, to show proof
of the date of mailing, transmittal by electronic means, or hand delivery. The
letter of appeal must specify the basis upon which the applicant relies to
assert that the applicant meets the minimum qualifications for the position.
2. Upon receipt of the appeal
letter, the director, human resource management services, shall certify the
appeal and submit a written request to the director, office of administrative
hearings, to conduct the hearing in accordance with this section.
3. If the applicant and the appointing
authority agree in writing, an appeal taken under this section may be disposed
of informally as provided in this subsection. The administrative law judge
shall notify the applicant and the appointing authority to provide
documentation upon which each relies to assert its position on the appeal. Each
party may also provide a memorandum of support for its position and may request
oral argument before the administrative law judge at the time it submits its
memorandum. If either party requests oral argument before the administrative
law judge, the administrative law judge shall notify the parties of the time,
date, and location of the oral argument. After oral argument, if any, the
administrative law judge shall issue findings of fact, conclusions of law, and
a final order and provide them to the parties and human resource management
services. If the applicant and the appointing authority do not agree to
informal disposition of the appeal, the administrative law judge shall conduct
a hearing in accordance with this section. After the hearing, the
administrative law judge shall issue findings of fact, conclusions of law, and
a final order and provide them to the parties and human resource management
services.
