Okla. Admin. Code § 260:130-3-3
The Civil Service Division shall be responsible for offering mediation training and certifying all mediators available through the State Employee Dispute Resolution Program. The Civil Service Division will maintain a list of all available mediators. Mediators will be state employees who have completed the Civil Service Division-approved program and applied to the Civil Service Division to be mediators within this program. State employees will not receive additional compensation for working as mediators. Serving as a mediator will be included within the employees' job duties. An employee must have had satisfactory performance ratings, must obtain written approval from his or her supervisor before applying to be a mediator, and submit such approval with his or her application. In the event the Civil Service Division does not have an adequate pool of mediators to assign to complaints and ensure the complaints are mediated within enough time to either resolve the complaint or have the hearing take place within the thirty (30) business day requirement set forth in 62 O.S. Section 34.301, the Civil Service Division may utilize other methods of obtaining mediators.
