Notes of Decisions
Public officers were immune to suit by other public employe arising out of his dismissal. Donahue v. Bowers, 19 Or App 50, 526 P2d 616 (1974), Sup Ct review denied
Classified state employe who was dismissed without any pretermination procedural safeguards was entitled to an award of back wages and benefits until properly terminated. Tupper v. Fairview Hosp., 276 Or 657, 556 P2d 1340 (1976)
As used in this section, “misconduct” requires some degree of volitional conduct. Fairview Hospital and Training Center v. Moore, 28 Or App 637, 560 P2d 671 (1977)
Where transfer of employe within Manpower Planning Division was transfer to position in different city which was of different class or rank, employe’s refusal of transfer did not constitute “insubordination” within this section. Robbins v. Executive Department, 34 Or App 803, 580 P2d 194 (1978), Sup Ct review denied
Where, under this section, employe was dismissed for insubordination for refusal to transfer to Portland in reclassified position, and employe claimed that entire course of conduct was taken in bad faith, findings of fact on that issue were required to support conclusion of law that transfer was “for good of service.” Ashman v. Children’s Services Division, 37 Or App 865, 588 P2d 665 (1978)
As employe insubordination is value judgment to be determined by agency, case was remanded to Employment Relations Board for it to make its own independent conclusion as to that matter. Children’s Services Division v. Ashman, 50 Or App 161, 622 P2d 1126 (1981)
Where position, not employee, was moved from classified to unclassified service, there is no employee right to return to classified from unclassified service at conclusion of employee’s job. Brady v. Gebbie, 859 F2d 1543 (9th Cir. 1988)
