Can a supervisor or Assistant Director of a department take disciplinary action against an employee under the rules?
No, they can only recommend discipline. Only the City Manager and the Department Director can take disciplinary action against an employee. The recommendation, which references the incident or behavior warranting the discipline, and includes any appeal rights, can be prepared by the supervisor or Assistant Director. The employee must be furnished a written statement of the reasons for the discipline within 5 days from the date of the incident.
