Merit Appeals Board July 15, 2024 <br />Resources did indicate to the Director of Public Works that his appointment would be voided and <br />that the Director of Public Works should inform him by March 8'. <br />MR. WISEMAN: "Should" but we don't know if he did? <br />MR. LEE: No. <br />CHR. CABANAS: I'm confused by these exhibits because—okay, "Exhibit S" is a memo from <br />the Director of HR to Stephen Pause, Director of Public Works. Ms. Tokihiro's saying, "As you <br />know an internal complaint was filed as a result of the recruitment and selection for the above - <br />referenced position" "Enclosed for your reference is a copy of the Response to Step II Appeal <br />dated February 16" <br />So, explain to me what's going on here—and to the Board—what's going on here? When you <br />say during the Step II appeal process concerns were raised that suggested an error in the <br />classification and requirements of the position. Basically, what Ms. Tokihiro is saying that <br />Human Resources made a mistake that's what you're saying. <br />MR. LEE: No. <br />CHR. CABANAS: HR made a mistake and she's informing Mr. Pause of their mistake. <br />MR. LEE: I guess, I'm hesitant to say "mistake" because I guess in view of the record, <br />"mistake" refers to a discreet act with regards to Mr. Turner. There was a change in the CERSII <br />minimum qualifications and classification specification that occurred in the nineties that <br />omission, I guess, we could term that as a "mistake"—only came to light as a result of both, I <br />guess, the combination of the other applicant's internal complaint as well as the Director's <br />Administrative Review. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Right. So, it's a "mistake." It's just a play of words but it's a "mistake." <br />So, she is informing Mr. Pause—she uses the word, "an error"—and correction of the class <br />specification is necessary. In other words, they wanted to correct their mistake and she's <br />informing the Director of Public Works of the mistake. <br />Now, when this occurred, did they inform Mr. Turner of this or she's expecting Mr. Pause to <br />explain to Mr. Turner of the mistake? <br />MR. LEE: If I could have a moment. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Sure. <br />MR. WISEMAN: Madam Chair, I'd like to proceed. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yes, Mr. Wiseman. <br />Page 25 <br />
