Town of Winthrop, 28 MCSR 414, 416 (2016) (The Commission lacked jurisdiction to hear the appeal of a part-time police officer terminated in his probationary period). 6 Since EPOs have all the authority of police officers and must also exercise "courage, good judgment, and the ability to work under stress in the public interest and part of an organization", MEP argues that the one-year probationary period should be applied to them as well.

Town of Winthrop, 21 MCSR 420, 426 (2008) (finding that appointing authorities that fail to record interviews for promotional appointments may do so at [their] peril); Hurst v. City of Brockton, 34, MCSR 41, 43 (2021) (encouraging fire departments to maintain stronger records of interviews to avoid the risk that, upon review, the Commission may find the process overly subjective and insufficient to establish a basis for bypass).

Town of Winthrop, 19 MCSR 379 (2006) When considering the merits of a bypass decision, the task of the Commission to determine that there was reasonable justification for the decision to bypass the candidate upon adequate reasons sufficiently supported by credible evidence, when weighed by an unprejudiced mind, guided by common sense and by correct rules of law. E.g., Brackett v. Civil Service Commn. 447 Mass. 233, 543 (2006) and cases cited.

Town of Winthrop, 19 MCSR 379 (2006) A person who is bypassed is entitled under G.L.c.31,2(a) to appeal that decision for a review by the Commission to determine whether the bypass decision was reasonably justified. See, e.g., Commissioners of Civil Service v. Municipal Ct., 359 Mass. 211, 214 (1971), citing Selectmen of Wakefield v. Judge of First Dist.Ct., 262 Mass. 477, 482 (1928); Mayor of Revere v. Civil Serv.

Town of Winthrop, 19 MCSR 379 (interview panel used as tie-breaking criteria vs. alphabetical order or seniority); Sullivan v. North Andover Fire Dept, 7 MCSR 175 (1990) (seniority used as tie-breaker) The Commission has not, however, previously accepted jurisdiction of an appeal such as that brought by Mr. Damas here under G.L.c.31,2(b), to challenge the validity of the tie-breaking methodology for making civil service appointments.

Town of Winthrop, 19 MCSR 379 (2006); Fasano v. City of Quincy, 17 MCSR 80 (2004); Baptista v. Department of Public Welfare, 6 MCSR 21 (1993). In this case however, the tie does not arise between two candidates with equal test scores on a qualifying merit examination but because they all happen to be chosen for appointment simultaneously.

Town of Winthrop, 21 MCSR 420, 426 (Mass. Civ. Serv. Commn., Aug. 4, 2008). The failure of the Fire Department to record Mr. Aldens interview has consequences here because there is considerable disagreement about what Mr. Alden said during the interview, and, thus, about whether the interview panel had reason to conclude that his interview performance was poor. The panel heard Mr.

Ct. 166 (1985); Town of Winthrop, 28 MLC 200 (Jan. 4, 2002). The Board has never set a definitive length of time required for a practice to become a binding term or condition of employment; instead, it looks at the issue on a case-bycase basis.
