Wellcome to the website of the Career Service Hearing Office.  The Hearing Office provides a fair and neutral hearing process for City employees in accordance with Career Service Rules.  

 

During the week of the Democratic National Convention (August 25-28) the Hearing Office will be closed at lunch.  We encourage you to file by email or fax if you can, but if you need to hand deliver a document to  the Hearing Office during lunch that week, you can file the document with the 1st floor receptionist at the Career Service Authority Test Administration Center.
