The WERC’s authority to review certain State civil service personnel actions arises by statute, and more specifically Ch. 230, Stats.  Information on how the Commission’s authority in this area is to be interpreted and applied can be obtained from several additional sources, including administrative rules and past decisions.  The Commission looks to these sources when processing and deciding new cases.
