CHAPTER 711 - INVESTIGATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING SERVICES FROM CERTAIN PROVIDERS
SUBCHAPTER L - EMPLOYEE MISCONDUCT REGISTRY
SECTION/RULE §711.1434 - What special considerations apply to employees of state-operated facilities?
Chapter Review Date 08/08/2023

(a) The sole way to dispute a finding of reportable conduct and submission of the employee's name to the EMR is provided by the procedures in this subchapter. A Request for EMR hearing filed under this subchapter is not a request for a grievance on disciplinary action from an employer.(b) If an employee of a state-operated facility is notified by the employer that the employee is entitled to a grievance on disciplinary action based on a finding of reportable conduct by HHSC, the employee makes a separate request for a grievance hearing in accordance with the employment policies of the employer. A request for a grievance on disciplinary action will not be considered a request for an EMR hearing under this subchapter.(c) When an employee files both a Request for EMR hearing under this subchapter and a grievance on disciplinary action based on HHSC's finding of reportable conduct, the EMR hearing will take place prior to the grievance hearing.(d) The outcome of a grievance on disciplinary action will not change HHSC's finding of reportable conduct.
