Disciplinary Suspension of Wage/Salary Reduction. The employee may be given a suspension for a third violation that occurs within a period of twelve months from the date of the most recent written reprimand or if the seriousness of the violation warrants more than a written reprimand.

The supervisor shall write a recommendation for suspension which includes a history of all past violations and a history of the supervisory efforts to correct the problem.
