The Health Officer may suspend any employee without pay for any conduct
enumerated herein as being the cause of demotion or dismissal or for such
other cause as the Health Officer deems warranting such action; however, no
suspension without pay shall exceed five days in duration unless the same
conduct would be sufficient cause for demotion or dismissal. Suspension for
a period in excess of five days shall be appealable as provided below, there
being no right to appeal a suspension for five days or less. The Health Officer
shall promptly give written notice to an employee of his suspension stating
with particularity the reason for said suspension.
