Appeals
The classification appeals process is administered by the Department of Labor and Industry, Board of Personnel Appeals. Board staff can be contacted at 406-444-2718. The basic steps in the process are as follows:
STEP 1
An employee initiates the process by completing a Classification and Wage Appeal form available from the Board of Personnel Appeals or the agency HR person and submitting it to the agency director. The agency director issues a response and returns the appeal to the employee.
STEP 2
If not satisfied with the Step 1 response, the employee can continue the appeal by submitting it to the Human Resources Policy and Programs Bureau. The Bureau issues a response and returns the appeal to the employee.
STEP 3
If not satisfied with the Step 2 response, the employee can continue the appeal by submitting it to the Board of Personnel Appeals for a hearing.
Rules governing the appeals process are found in the Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM).
