§ 11.28. Indefinite suspensions.

The Department Head may indefinitely suspend any Sworn Employee under his supervision or jurisdiction for the violation of established City policies and/or civil service rules. The Department Head shall provide to the Sworn Employee and file with the Commission by delivery to the Director a written statement of action within five (5) business days. The order of indefinite suspension shall inform the Sworn Employee that the Sworn Employee has ten (10) business days after receipt of the order, within which to file a written appeal with the Commission. The Commission shall have the power to review and determine whether just cause exists to support the indefinite suspension. In the event the Department Head fails to file said statement with the Director within five business days, the indefinite suspension shall be void and the Sworn Employee shall be entitled to the Sworn Employee's full salary and position. The Commission shall have the power to uphold, modify or reverse the decision of the Department Head.
