Ch. 10

1993 LAWS OF MARYLAND

EXPENSES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ATTENDANCE BY AN EMPLOYEE
AT GRIEVANCE HEARINGS, WHETHER AS A GRIEVANT, AS A GRIEVANT'S
REPRESENTATIVE, OR AS A WITNESS, SHALL BE BORNE BY THAT EMPLOYEE'S UNIT,

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 64A, § 55(g).

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to representation at "any stage"
of the grievance procedure is substituted for the former reference to "any
step" for clarity. An informal discussion under § 10-205 is part of the
grievance, even though that discussion is not a "step" in the grievance
procedure.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to the "informal
presentation" of a grievance is substituted for the former reference to the
"informal initiation" of a grievance to distinguish the informal presentation
under § 10-205 of this title from Step One of the grievance proceeding under
§ 10-207 of this title.

Subsection (c) of this section is revised to state expressly that expenses are
borne by the participant's unit.

Also in subsection (c) of this section, the phrase "whether as a grievant, as a
grievant's representative, or as a witness" is added for clarity.

As to subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the State Personnel Article
Review Committee notes, for consideration by the General Assembly, that the
limiting references to "hearings" are consistent with the former law. However,
the term "hearing" is only used elsewhere in this title to refer to a grievance
hearing held by the Secretary at Step Three of the proceedings. As to Steps
One and Two, the statute refers instead to a "conference". The State
Personnel Article Review Committee is uncertain whether employees
attending these "conferences" are intended to be treated under this section in
the same way as those attending "hearings".

Defined term: "Grievance" § 10-101

TITLE 11. REINSTATEMENTS.                     

SUBTITLE 1. REINSTATEMENTS GENERALLY.

11-101. PERIOD FOR REINSTATEMENT INTO CLASSIFIED SERVICE POSITION

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW, IN ORDER TO RECEIVE
REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGES, A FORMER PERMANENT CLASSIFIED SERVICE
EMPLOYEE OR A FORMER PERMANENT EMPLOYEE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
MARYLAND SYSTEM WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR REINSTATEMENT MUST BE APPOINTED
TO A CLASSIFIED SERVICE POSITION WITHIN 2 YEARS FROM SEPARATION FROM THE
EMPLOYEE'S FORMER POSITION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 64A, § 37E(a).
