The Tribunal found that the contested decision was lawful and that the selected candidate met the required work experience for the post. Computation of part-time experience: The conversion of part-time work experience to relevant work experience is within the discretion of the administration as long as the method used is not arbitrary or irregular. Written tests: Though there are no established rules and or guidelines for the rating system and the distribution of points for a written test exercise, a hiring manager has discretion in developing a standard to be used to govern the awarding of scores and ratings for a written test. Tribunal’s role in appointment and promotion exercises: is to examine whether the selection process was carried out in an improper, irregular or otherwise flawed manner, to assess whether the resulting decision was tainted by extraneous factors, undue consideration or was manifestly unreasonable. Rescission of selection decisions: The Tribunal can only rescind a selection decision in appointment-related matters, where there is evidence of bias whether actual or apparent, discrimination, failure to give a party full and fair consideration and in the face of irrefutable procedural irregularities. The fact of being invited to a competency-based interview after a successful written test should not be interpreted to mean that this would prevail over any flaws that may have been detected concerning the written test.
