Latest version.
  • The Department Head may suspend any Sworn Employee under his jurisdiction or supervision for disciplinary purposes, not to exceed two-hundred forty working hours (240). The Department Head shall provide to the employee and file with the Commission by delivery to the Director a written statement of action within five business days. Said order of suspension shall inform the employee that he has ten (10) business days after receipt of a copy thereof, within which to file a written appeal with the Commission. If the Sworn Employee appeals, the Commission shall have the power to review and determine whether just cause exists to support the discipline. In the event the Department Head fails to file said statement with the Director within five business days, the suspension shall be void and the Sworn Employee shall be entitled to the Sworn Employee's full salary. The Commission shall have the power to, uphold, modify, or reverse the decision of the Department Head.
