Notes of Decisions The employee must actually receive the notice at least 10 days prior to the scheduled date of the hearing, and merely placing the notice in the mail at least 10 days prior to the hearing date is not sufficient. Courtney v. Civil Service Commission, 391 A.2d 6 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1978).
In an action which does not involve an allegation of discrimination, and is not pursuable under section 951(a) or (b) of the Civil Service Act (71 P. S. § 751.951(a) or (b)), the provisions of this section do not provide an employee with an adequate remedy; the employee is therefore not required to exhaust administrative remedies available. Magnelli v. Civil Service Commission, 383 A.2d 561 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1978).
