Description
Petitioner was employed by respondents for almost six years as a provisional employee in the position of Communications Operator I. During that period she took and passed the open competitive examination for the same position, was placed on the eligible list, and was appointed to that position from the list. At the end of her probationary period, her employment was terminated without a hearing. The pleadings explicitly raise issues of fact as to whether petitioner's performance changed during the probationary period from what it had been during her period of employment as a provisional employee and whether she had been advised of her status and progress as required (4 NYCRR 4.5 [i]; cf. Matter of Palmer v Merges, 37 N.Y.2d 177). The verified affidavits of respondents' officials, submitted in support of their answer, include statements that petitioner was a disruptive influence, that she showed a lack of co-operation, that she resented corrective criticism, that on two occasions she became loud and belligerent and that on one occasion she absented herself from work after having been advised to report to work. Special Term held, on the papers, that petitioner had every reason to know of her superior's dissatisfaction with her service and that respondents' action was taken in good faith and was not arbitrary and capricious. On this record, petitioner is entitled to a hearing. The charge of insubordination carries sufficient stigma to affect rights, liberty and property (Matter of CSEA v Wallach, 48 A.D.2d 923). Disposition Judgment reversed, on the law, without costs, and matter remanded to respondents for further proceedings consistent herewith.
