Any decision issued by the Commission or a Referee that is on this web site may now be cited, quoted, and referred to in any pleading argument or brief even if the decision is designated "NOT FOR STATEWIDE DISTRIBUTION." (Amending General Circular No. 764 issued February 13, 1986)

Search using any of these methods: 

-by a word or phrase - This will bring you to a list of decisions containing that word or phrase, such as "insubordination" or "delegated appointing authority".

-by Employee Name - This will bring up a list of decisions in appeals filed by that employee.

-by Docket Number - This will bring you to the decision in that appeal (or to a decision that cites it). Note: if the decision you are looking for involves a separation case, you may need to add an "s-" to the beginning of the number to locate the decision. Example: If the docket number is "12345," you need to enter it as "s-12345".
