By filing a written statement of reasons with the Personnel Officer and the employee concerned, an appointing authority may suspend a subordinate employee without pay at any time for the good of the service, for a disciplinary purpose, or for any other just cause, including, but not limited to, insubordination, misconduct, or disobedience. Any persons so suspended may, within 10 days from the time of suspension, file with the Commission a written demand for an investigation, whereupon the Commission shall conduct such investigation. The investigation shall be confined to the determination of whether such suspension was made for political or religious reasons and whether it was made in good faith for cause. Unless dismissal action is brought as provided in these rules, such suspension shall not exceed 30 work days nor shall any employee be penalized by suspension for more than 30 work days in any fiscal year.
