Civil Service Protection Act Prohibits Dismissal Without Cause
The law provides job protection for state and local civil employees. It requires due notice and opportunities for review by writ of certiorari before removal for misconduct. If a position is abolished or made unnecessary, the employee is transferred with pay unchanged, except certain confidential roles. A reduction in pay to force resignation is a misdemeanor, and remedies include damages and mandamus for violated rights.
