BackgroundThe appeal of Wayne Green, Residential Services Worker, New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home, Vineland, Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, removal effective January 6, 2020, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge William T. Cooper, who rendered his initial decision on November 5, 2021. Exceptions were filed on behalf of the appellant and a reply to exceptions was filed on behalf of the appointing authority.
AnalysisHaving considered the record and the ALu's initial decision, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, including a thorough review of the submissions of the parties, the Civil Service Commission, at its meeting of December 1, 2021, accepted and adopted the Findings of Fact and Conclusion as contained in the attached ALJJ’s initial decision.
ORDER
The Civil Service Commission finds that the action of the appointing authority in removing the appellant was justified. The Commission therefore affirms that action and dismisses the appeal of Wayne Green.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
