§ 120. Applications and appeals. 1. Applications to director. Any employee occupying a position, the title or salary grade of which is subject to the jurisdiction of the director of the classification and compensation division, and any appointing officer, with respect to any such position or positions in his department or agency, may apply to the director, on a form prescribed and furnished by him, for a review and change of the classification or allocation of such positions. Such employee or appointing officer or their representatives shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to present facts in support of or in relation to such application at a time and in such manner as may be specified by the director. The director shall examine and review any such application and may make such changes in classification or allocation as may be just and equitable. The director shall have the power to designate an officer or employee of the division to conduct a hearing with relation to any application for such reclassification or reallocation and to report to the director thereon.

2. Appeals to the state civil service commission. Any employee or appointing officer aggrieved by a determination of the director may appeal from such determination to the state civil service commission. Such appeal must be made within sixty days after receipt of written notice of such determination. Such employee or appointing officer or their representatives shall be afforded an opportunity to present facts and arguments in support of or in relation to such appeal at a time and place and in such manner as may be prescribed by the commission. The commission shall examine and review such appeal and make such changes in classification or allocation as may be just and equitable. Determinations of the commission shall be transmitted to the director of the budget, the director of the classification and compensation division, and the employees and department heads affected thereby.

3. Reporting on appeals. In addition to the requirements of subdivision two of this section, the commission shall, on or before January thirty-first of each year, submit a report to the governor and the legislature which shall include, but not be limited to, information detailing the total number of appeals received from determinations made based upon written and oral examinations, performance tests and ratings of training and experience, during the preceding twelve months, and shall report the final disposition or dispositions of each appeal.
