A Skelly Hearing is an opportunity to protect yourself from allegations, challenge proposed disciplinary action, and restore your reputation with your employer. They are given without a lot of notice, but here are ways you can prepare for a Hearing and fight the proposed discipline.
The purpose of the Skelly rule is to allow employees an opportunity to respond to the charges and to request a reduction or elimination of the discipline. It also allows for an opportunity to check out the evidence that management has against the employee.
Employees are encouraged to submit a brief in advance of the hearing addressing the Notice. The Skelly Review Officer has the responsibility to read the Notice, the materials upon which it is based, and any response submitted by the employee. This should take place before any actual “hearing” involving the employee.

If the proposed adverse action is not withdrawn as a result of the Skelly meeting, the state civil service employee may file an appeal with the SPB Appeals Division within 30- calendar days3 after the effective date of the adverse action.
To document employee discipline, include the employee's name, the date of the write-up, clear reasons for the disciplinary action, the number of times the employee has been written up, details about the problem including evidence, and a deadline for corrective action. Then, have the employee sign and date the document.
A proper disciplinary process should contain a five key steps: A disciplinary investigation. An initial disciplinary letter that sets out the issues to be discussed. A meeting to discuss the issue (the disciplinary hearing) A disciplinary decision. A chance to appeal the disciplinary decision.
