PECG testified at the hearings and proposed that the new rule require that only the top three names be certified from the list for the selection. The SPB currently has this matter under consideration. Managers and Supervisors who are members of PECG are represented in adverse action appeals. In recent times, there has been a considerable increase in the number of adverse actions being taken against Supervisors and Managers. These actions are taken for alleged sub-standard performance, misconduct, insubordination, and a multitude of other reasons.
Appeals are, at times, very complex and require significant preparation.
PECG's representation is provided as a benefit of membership at no addition charge to the member. When compared to the cost of hiring outside counsel, benefits of membership can far outweigh not being a member. Supervisors and managers may elect to enroll in the Annual Leave Program to receive annual leave credit in lieu of sick leave and vacation benefits. Annual leave credits may be used for any approved absence. Sick leave credits that were earned prior to participation in the Annual Leave Program are available for approved sick leave purposes.
