Civil Service Commission Disciplinary Actions. 20.4.1 The Chief may recommend suspension in excess of fifteen (15) days (or thirty (30) days aggregate in a calendar year), demotion, or discharge of an employee to the Civil Service Commission. Any such recommendation shall be processed under the Civil Service Ordinance. 20.4.2 Any disciplinary action prosecuted before the Civil Service Commission, including the Chief's recommendation therefore, shall not be grievable under this Agreement. Any final decision of the Civil Service Commission may be appealed only to court. 20.4.3 In the event that an employee is suspended by the Commission for a period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive days, the employee shall not accrue vacation, sick, or holiday benefits during the period of such suspension. 20.4.4 If the member under investigation is requested to submit to a polygraph examination, he or she will be furnished a list of questions which will be asked prior to the commencement of the examination, to enable the member to confer with counsel of his choosing. If a member is requested to submit to any other type of test, he or she will be advised of the type of test and the member will be afforded an opportunity to obtain similar independent test, if available. The taking of a polygraph examination is voluntary. If a member refuses to take a polygraph test, the refusal shall not be introduced into evidence in any disciplinary hearing nor have any bearing upon discipline, suspension or dismissal. If a polygraph examination is taken, neither party to the contract, nor its representatives, may object to the admissibility and use of the examination's results at any hearing, but either party may argue as to the weight to be accorded such results at any such hearing.
