Pursuant to Section 3.11(d), the District has the right to relieve employees from duty for legitimate reasons. Accordingly, the District may place employees on paid administrative leave during the course of investigations that may lead to disciplinary action. Provided, however, that the period of administrative leave in any given instance shall not exceed the timely reasonably necessary to conclude the investigation. The District reserves the right to direct employees not to enter and/or access District facilities and to direct them and to schedule them to attend meetings related to investigations and notice employees regarding the discipline process in accordance with the MOU. Further, District managers may approve a request from an employee who is placed on administrative leave with pay to use other types of paid leave and unpaid leave in lieu of administrative leave with pay. In the event the employee’s manager approves such a request, then the employee would be subject to the conditions that normally apply to the approved leave. Leave requests that were approved prior to an employee being placed on administrative leave will be honored unless doing so unduly impedes the investigation and/or disciplinary process.

The employee shall submit to the District verification of the monetary loss and the District shall fully reimburse the employee within ten working days of the receipt of such verification. Administrative leave with pay is not considered a break in service and the bargaining unit employee’s position shall not be vacated by this leave.
