QUESTION
Can the company initiate a disciplinary action against me if I forgot to take the written exam for my promotion 10 years ago?
Asked on Dec 15th, 2013 on Labor and Employment - New York
More details to this question:
It is to submit that I have appointed as Junior Assistant during the year 2003. The company has given the orders that I should have passed the type writing examination within (1) year from the date of receipt of the orders. Due to heavy work in department, I have forgotten the examination and the department also forgot. The commencement and probation were given and increments were also released. Promotion orders from junior to senior assistant was also given during the year 2010. After completion of (10) years of my service i.e 01-12-2013, the department asked that I have not passed the type writing examination, the disciplinary action will be initiated against me. In this regard, please issue the legal opinion.

It depends on the rules of and your contract with your employer. Why not just take (and pass) the test? As a practical matter, it does seem foolish as you are 10 years into and one promotion past. If there are additional issues, see an attorney.

I know of no reason in GA why your employer may not discipline you for this. Such matters are not regulated by law.
