Does a public employee have a vested contractual right to stay in a civil service position?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Geftakys v. State Personnel Board, 138 Cal.App.3d 844, 188 Cal.Rptr. 305 (Cal. App. 1982):
Appellant, too, was bound by the same standards. It is settled that a public employee has no vested contractual right in any civil service position since the terms and conditions of civil service employment are fixed by statute and not by contract. (Miller v. State of California (1977) 18 Cal.3d 808, 814, 135 Cal.Rptr. 386, 557 P.2d 970.)
