State of California Corrections Dept
The State Personnel Board (SPB) is a constitutionally established entity in California, responsible for overseeing the state's Civil Service System since 1934. It ensures that employment decisions are merit-based and free from political influences by adopting classifications, establishing recruitment rules, and auditing department employment practices for compliance.
Led by a five-member board appointed by the Governor, the SPB also hears appeals from state employees regarding disciplinary actions and addresses merit-related complaints, including whistleblower retaliation. By administering and enforcing civil service rules, the SPB plays a crucial role in maintaining integrity and accountability within California's state employment framework.
