Where a staff member makes an appeal under subsection (2), the staff member shall provide evidence to the Civil Service Appeals Commission to show that the Chief Officer has acted in an unfair or biased manner, or in a manner inconsistent with the proper carrying out of any power, duty or function by the Chief Officer in relation to that staff member and its decision shall be final.
