Administrative Law DiscussionUse the following hypothetical on which to base your discussion:Jane is hired as a full-time employee by State. She works for State’s revenue agency as a clerk-typist. As a permanent employee, she is entitled to life, health, and dental insurance. Pursuant to statute, State provides these automatically and immediately when an employee is hired. The employee then has 30 days within which to waive any particular insurance (and save the employee’s part of the premium).Because of a clerical error, Jane was never enrolled in State’s group health insurance plan, nor was she informated of her option to waive. On February 1, jane is involved in an automobile accident. jane’s husband contacts Jane’s immediate supervisor about the accident. The total medical bills exceed $50,000. State’s group medical insurance would cover 80% of the bills.Because of her injuries, Jane, at the recommendation of her physician, does not return to work until April 1. Upon her arrival, she finds that she has been terminated. In her file, she discover

s that she was placed on “probation” on March 1 for failure to appear for work. The note in the file states that “if the employee does not return to work within 15 days, she is to be terminated after a hearing is conducted.” The file further states that a hearing was conducted and her immediate supervisor and a State personnel officer appeared. Jane was terminated, according to the file, “because there is no evidence to justify the employee’s failure to appear for duty.” Jane was not informed of the hearing.State law provides that “every employee who fails to report for duty 30 days or longer within one calendar year shall be terminated regardless of the cause of the failure to report.”Jane sues the State, asking that she be restored to her position and the State be ordered to pay her medical bills.DISCUSSION: Evaluate Jane’s suit against the state using the facts presented, the materials you have covered this week, and any other research you perform.
