Function and Authority

The Civil Service Commission is the policy making body for the merit system of the City of St. Louis. Article XVIII of the City Charter vests the Commission with responsibility for making rules and adjudicating appeals consistent with the provisions of Article XVIII. The Commission's duties are quasi-judicial, as well as quasi-legislative in nature.

The Civil Service Commission has the authority to adjudicate appeals from permanent City employees who believe they have been unfairly disciplined. Hearing Officers assist the Commission by conducting the appeals scheduled for formal hearing and the Commission reviews the proceedings of these hearings and renders a decision. 

Guidelines for Filing Appeals

At this time, the Civil Service Commission will accept appeals by email, via mail or in person. Appeals must be received by the Commission in a timely manner and must include the employee's signature. Further, the appeal must include the following:

  1. Employee name
  2. Job title
  3. Department/division
  4. Action Being Appealed (i.e. suspension (including dates of suspension), dismissal, disciplinary reduction in pay, etc.)
  5. Employee Address
  6. Employee Telephone Number

Submit appeals by email, in person or by mail:

Civil Service Commission
