State of California
The State Personnel Board (SPB), established in 1934, is tasked with overseeing California's Civil Service System, ensuring that employment decisions are merit-based and devoid of political influence. The board is responsible for adopting classifications, establishing recruitment rules, auditing employment practices, and hearing employee appeals related to disciplinary actions.
Led by a five-member board appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, the SPB meets monthly to address key issues such as classifications, probationary periods, and merit-related rules. Additionally, the board investigates complaints related to merit violations, whistleblower retaliation, and oversees the administration of civil service regulations.
