State of California Corrections Dept
The State Personnel Board (SPB) of California, established in 1934, is tasked with overseeing the state's Civil Service System to ensure that employment decisions are merit-based and free from political influence. The five-member board, appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, meets monthly to manage classifications, adopt rules, and address appeals from state employees regarding disciplinary actions and compliance with merit-related laws.
In addition to guiding recruitment and selection policies, the SPB audits employment practices across various departments and investigates merit-related complaints, including whistleblower retaliation cases. The board also plays a critical role in rendering decisions on challenges to state contracts related to personal services, maintaining the integrity of the civil service system in California.
