New Jersey employee psychological testing and psychological appeals
New Jersey employee psychological testing and psychological appeals
If you are attempting to get a job with the state, you may be removed from the civil service list due to mental health issues and your failure to pass the appropriate test. You may receive a notice that says “Your name was removed from this list because you do not meet the psychological and/or psychiatric standards”. While you have the right to appeal, you have to move quickly. Our office has a long history of helping state employees and applicants for employment with the state win
psychological appeals. If you already have a state job, you may be subject to major discipline for inability to perform duties due to psychological testing. In other words, you likely failed a fitness for duty test.
First, it is important to note that your employer cannot just order a test because they feel like it. In re Vey, 124 N.J. 534, 541 (1991), identifies the steps required to validate psychological testing in the workplace: (1) “the employer must specify the trait or characteristic that the selection device is being used to identify or measure”; (2) “the employer must establish that the particular trait or characteristic is an important element of work behavior”; (3) “the employer must
`demonstrate by professionally acceptable methods that the selection device is predictive of or significantly correlated with the element of work behavior identified in the second step.'” Ibid. If any of that criteria is missing, you will have a great defense. Of course, that does not mean that your defense are limited to that standard since most defense are not. That’s just one of the first things that we look at.
Quite often, the primary defense is attacking the test results. We do this a number of ways from attacking the methods, the person administering the testing, the report submitted or by hiring our own expert who opposes the State’s expert or even some combination of these defenses. No matter what the facts of your case are, rest assured that we will use our experience to help win your psychological appeal. Call us at 1-855-9-JEFLAW to discuss.
N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(3) Inability to perform duties Defense Lawyers
N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(3) Inability to perform duties Defense Lawyers
N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(3) subjects an employee to discipline for insubordination for an inability to perform duties. There are some common scenarios that present themselves in these cases, such as psychical issue and mental health issues. Where there is a mental health issue, the employee may be subject to psychological testing. If the employee fails that, they can initiate an appeal. That topic is covered in more detail in another post. If there is another issue such as a physical
disability, there are limitations in what the employer can due. Under the LAD, an employer must reasonably accommodate an employee’s disability, Tynan v. Vicinage 13 of the Super. Ct. of N.J., 351 N.J.Super. 385, 396 (App.Div.2002) and the related limitations of an employee. This is of course “unless the employer can demonstrate that the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the operation of its business.” Id. at 397 (citing N.J.A.C. 13:13-2.5(b)). The duty to accommodate an employee with a disability “extends only so far as necessary to allow `a disabled employee to perform the essential functions of his job.'” Ibid. (quoting Vande Zande v. State of Wis. Dept. of Admin., 851 F.Supp. 353, 362 (W.D.Wis. 1994), aff’d, 44 F.3d 538 (7th Cir.1995)).
Thus, the fight may be over the disability itself as well as the accommodation offered by the employer. Don’t get bullied around by your employer. If you have been accused of having an inability to perform duties pursuant to N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(3) to protect your rights. You can call us any time at 1-855-9-JEFLAW to discuss your case for free.
N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(2) Insubordination Defense Lawyers
N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(2) Insubordination Defense Lawyers
N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(2) subjects an employee to discipline for insubordination. These cases are quite interesting to handle from the perspective of a lawyer because insubordination lacks a precise definition. Thus, besides debating whether the state employee actually engaged in the conduct that is alleged to have occurred, there is also a debate about whether that conduct, if proven, would rise to the level of insubordination. A skilled lawyer can turn this potential negative into an
advantage by making a number of legal arguments to attack the charge itself based upon this lack of definition. Putting that issue aside, a strong defense is still the best defense and that starts with a call to an experienced defense lawyer right away. See, anything you do or say can be used against you and you don’t want to lose your case before you even start it. Let us protect you by calling us before you start anything.
