The questionnaire should be submitted to your supervisor to complete and sign. If your supervisor has not signed the questionnaire within five working days of receipt, you may forward the questionnaire to your agency representative or Appointing Authority without your supervisor’s signature. However, you must include a notation of the date of presentation to the supervisor. The agency representative or Appointing Authority shall review the appeal and ensure that the information above has been included. Within 10 days of their receipt of the appeal or complaint, the agency representative or Appointing Authority shall either notify you that specific additional information is required, or forward the complete appeal, including an organizational chart, to Department of Personnel’s State and Local Human Resource Management.
