Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that a collective bargaining agreement did not transform plaintiffs provisional appointment into permanent employment
• contract clause which indicated that employee could be terminated “for cause” under certain circumstances did not change effect of another clause which indicated that under the actual circumstances employee could be terminated without cause
• “the use of the words ‘for cause’ does not magically, or always, transform a job into protected property; the focus must remain upon the nature of the employee’s legitimate expectation of continued entitlement to his or her job”
• noting a paid suspension did not harm plaintiff
