Md. Code Regs. 17.04.04.04

Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 10, May 17, 2024

Section 17.04.04.04 - Separation Reports for Unsatisfactory Performance or Conduct

A. A unit shall report in writing to the Secretary when an employee is voluntarily or involuntarily separated from a position with an unsatisfactory employment record. The unit shall give the employee a copy of the report, either in person or by certified mail sent to the employee's last address of record. The Secretary shall determine the form of the report. The unit shall forward the report to the Secretary within 30 days of the employee's separation.

B. Separation for unsatisfactory performance or conduct, as reported in paragraph A above, is grounds for denial of future State employment for a period of up to 3 years.

C. An individual may be terminated with prejudice from State service when the individual's actions are found to be so egregious that the individual does not merit employment in any capacity with the State. Termination with prejudice is a permanent bar to any future employment in any capacity with the State; therefore, an individual who has been terminated with prejudice from State service may not subsequently be hired in any branch of State Government, including any unit with an independent personnel system, on or after October 1, 2012.

D. A person in interest may apply to correct or amend an employment record in accordance with the provisions of COMAR 17.04.12, State Government Article, §10-625, Annotated Code of Maryland, and the policies of the Secretary.
