Section 01I .2306 - DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY

(a) An employee may be suspended without pay for disciplinary purposes for unsatisfactory job performance after the receipt of at least one prior disciplinary action or without any prior warning for causes relating to any form of unacceptable personal conduct or grossly inefficient job performance pursuant to Rule .2301 of this Section. A disciplinary suspension without pay for an employee who is subject to the overtime compensation provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) must be for at least one full work day, but not more than two full work weeks. Prior to placing any employee on disciplinary suspension without pay, the agency director or designated management representative shall conduct a pre-disciplinary conference with the employee in accordance with the procedural requirements of this Section. An employee who has been suspended without pay must be furnished a statement in writing setting forth the specific acts or omissions that are the reasons for the suspension and the employee's appeal rights.

(b) An agency has the option of imposing the same periods of disciplinary suspension without pay upon all employees as long as the period is the same as for employees exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA as set forth in this Section.
