An employee may be disciplined for misconduct and/or incompetency
and/or inability to perform the work of the position satisfactorily.
Disciplinary action may take the following forms: oral warning, written
reprimand, temporary removal from the job, suspension, demotion and/or
dismissal.
In situations where an oral warning has not resulted in the
desired improvement, or where more severe initial action is warranted,
written reprimand may be sent to the employee, and a copy shall be
placed in the employee's personnel record.
The Manager may dismiss any employee at any time when his service
or conduct becomes unsatisfactory. An employee who is dismissed (except
probationary, temporary and seasonal employees) shall be given written
notice of the reasons for the action, and a copy of the notice shall
be made a part of the employee's personnel record.
Any employee suspended, demoted or dismissed, in accordance with this article, may request a hearing before the Personnel Commission. The request shall be made in writing no later than 10 working days after the notification of his suspension, demotion or dismissal, and the procedures shall be in accordance with §
85-42 of this chapter. In addition, any employee shall have the right to appeal, as provided for by law or by any other ordinance applicable to the situation.
