(a) Any employee in the competitive service shall have the right to appeal to the personnel board relative to any situation affecting his or her employment status or conditions of employment except in instances where the right of appeal is prohibited by this subpart. Thereupon the board shall make such investigation as it may deem necessary and within 20 days after the request for hearing was filed by the employee, the board shall hold a hearing, at which time it shall hear evidence for and against such employee. Hearings may be informally conducted and the rules of evidence need not apply. (b) Within 10 days after concluding the hearing, the personnel board shall certify its findings and order to the authority from whose action the appeal was taken. Such official shall then affirm, revoke, or modify the action taken so as to conform with the findings and order of the board. The findings and order of the personnel board shall be final and conclusive and shall not be reviewable in any court.
