(d) An investigation or inquiry required or authorized to be conducted or made, may be conducted or made by any designee of the grievance appeals board.

(e) An employee's right to process a grievance shall not be lost to him solely because he has left the department or agency wherein it arose or because he has left the State service, provided such right had fully accrued prior to his separation from the department or agency of its origin and provided further that he could otherwise have prosecuted such grievance but for such separation and provided, further, that he presents his grievance not later than 45 calendar days after the date on which the act or omission giving rise to the grievance occurred.

(f) Terminations of the services of probationers pursuant to the Civil Service Law are not reviewable by the grievance appeals board except where the petitioner presents prima facie proof to the board that the decision of the appointing officer may have been arbitrary or capricious.
