Alternative Discipline by the Department Head Sample Clauses

Alternative Discipline by the Department Head. In considering appropriate disciplinary action the Department head may require that a firefighter be evaluated by a qualified professional (within the City’s Employees Assistance Program (“E.A.P.”)). If that professional recommends a program of counseling and/or rehabilitation for the firefighter, the Department head may, as an alternative to demotion, or temporary or indefinite suspension, or in combination with a demotion or temporary suspension, require that the firefighter successfully complete the recommended program. The program of counseling and/or rehabilitation will be completed on the firefighter's off-duty time, unless the Department head approves the use of accrued vacation leave or sick leave. The firefighter shall be responsible for paying all costs of the program of counseling and/or rehabilitation which are not covered by City’s E.A.P. or the firefighter's health insurance plan. If the firefighter's misconduct involves alcohol or substance abuse-related behavior, the Department head may require that the firefighter submit to mandatory alcohol or drug testing, when ordered by the Department head, for a specified period of time not to exceed twelve (12) months. If, after entering the program of counseling and/or rehabilitation, the firefighter fails or refuses to complete the program, the firefighter may be suspended up to and including an indefinite suspension. The firefighter has the right to appeal by filing an appeal notice in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 143. The suspension may be appealed to a Texas Local Government Code Hearing Examiner or the commission. On appeal, the commission, or 143 Hearing Examiner shall have the same duties and powers set forth in Chapter 143, but shall not have the power to substitute a program of counseling and/or rehabilitation different from the program imposed by the Department head or to substitute any period of suspension for the required program of counseling and/or rehabilitation.
