level. For the state-operated secondary area vocational education and
technology centers, this appeal shall go to the ombudsman for mediation. If not
resolved at this level, the employee may file an appeal with the appointing
authority or designee who shall make a final ruling. For other employees in the

appropriate office head and then to the appointing authority or designee.
