Formal Discipline. Forms of formal discipline include, but are not limited to: letter of reprimand, suspension, reduction in salary, demotion and termination. Discipline will normally be progressive, however any level of discipline may be imposed based on the totality of circumstances and just cause. The County may terminate, suspend, or reduce the pay of an employee for the following actions which do not require prior discipline: dishonesty, including theft, drinking, or being under the influence of intoxicants, when related to employment activity, use or sale of illegal drugs, gross insubordination, conviction of a felony, conviction of a misdemeanor related to work, obtaining leave or benefits under false pretense, deliberate or reckless destruction of the County property, gross misconduct or sexual misconduct in connection with work, or other similar conduct which reflects poorly on County employment.
