Description
The appellant, Mary Ann Billings, was employed by the West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Commissioner as a clerk, having begun her employment on September 23, 1963. On September 12, 1969, appellant took a leave of absence for pregnancy and was asbent for four weeks. When she returned to work, her division director informed her that "she would have to train someone else and she would be terminated and that the reason for this termination was political." Claiming that political discrimination became "so bad," she did not return to work after October 30, 1969. She was never given any reasons in writing for her "termination," the Commissioner taking the position that she resigned rather than having been discharged. Appellant testified that at the time she did not believe she was covered by the Civil Service System and thus did not appeal her "dismissal" within the thirty-day statutory period.
