Section 22.07. Notice prior to layoff; appeal notice.

  Any employee affected by layoff shall be given written notice of the action, not less than 15 calendar days prior to its effective date. The written notice of layoff shall, to the extent practicable, include the specific alternatives within the agency available at that time to the employee in lieu of termination. The appointing authority shall continue to keep the employee aware of new alternatives available up to the effective date of the layoff. The employee shall be entitled to appeal the layoff action to the commission upon filing a written request with the commission within 30 calendar days of the effective date of the decision or within 30 calendar days after receipt of notice of the action, whichever is later. No notice of appeal or pending litigation as a result thereof, affects any determination previously or subsequently made by the appointing authority, until an order is entered by the commission, unless the order is stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
