An appointing authority may discipline an employee under his/her jurisdiction. A system of progressive discipline will be established which provides for oral reprimand, written reprimands, suspensions without pay and dismissal. It is recognized that depending upon the nature of the offense, more severe disciplinary actions may be warranted upon the first offense. Before suspension without pay and dismissals are taken, due process will be afforded the employees.
