OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Disqualification from employment after resignations.

- There is nothing in O.C.G.A. § 45-20-93 nor in the associated State Personnel Board rules that prohibits the employee from resigning, so long as employment is terminated. However, even if the employee resigns rather than be fired, the employee must still be disqualified from future employment for at least two years under the State Personnel Board rules. 1992 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 92-25.
