Does a public employee have a right to respond in writing to a discipline action?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Johnson v. Regents of the Univ. of Cal., A150255 (Cal. App. 2018):
1. Under Skelly v. State Personnel Board (1975) 15 Cal.3d 194, 215, a public employee who is subjected to punitive action must receive "notice of the proposed action, the reasons therefor, a copy of the charges and materials upon which the action is based, and the right to respond, either orally or in writing, to the authority initially imposing discipline."
2. Nothing in the record supports this supposition.
