What are the differences between a state service employee and a non-state employee?
A. Non-state service employees do not have a statutory property right to their positions and may be terminated with or without cause by the appointing authority of their agency. A statutory property right to a state service position entitles the employee to a right of continued employment in a state service position of equal pay, and this entitlement may not be taken away or adversely affected except through due process or Legislative action. Employees hired into non-state service positions are not required to be hired from a Certificate of Eligibles. Those employees designated non-state service because of their reporting relationship to a key excluded official can be paid up to 25% above the starting salary of their positions because of their non-state service designation.
