005.02 Tenure

The tenure of office of every permanent employee shall be during good behavior and acceptable performance of his duties as recorded in his performance reports and other records. This provision shall not, however, be interpreted to prevent the separation of an employee for those causes set forth in sub-subdivision 006.03A 3, Section 06, or the separation of an employee because of a lack of funds or curtailment of work when made in accordance with these rules.

005.03 Demotion

The Executive Secretary may demote a permanent employee for any of the reasons set forth in Section 06, sub-subdivision 006.03A 3.

005.04 Suspension
005.01A The Executive Secretary may, for disciplinary purposes, suspend without pay any employee for such length of time as the Executive Secretary considers appropriate not exceeding 20 working days in any twelve-month period for any of the reasons set forth in sub-subdivision 006.03A 3, Section 06.

005.05B In extreme cases of flagrant violations which require immediate action, no prior written notice is necessary. In this event the employee so dismissed shall receive payment to and including the number of hours worked on the day of dismissal and such unused vacation leave as he may have earned during the current calendar year but he shall not receive additional pay in lieu of notice prior to the date of dismissal.
005.05C In all cases a written notice shall be prepared by the Executive Secretary and filed with the personnel file of the affected employee.
