Levels of Discipline. Depending on the level of the violation of the “General Rules of Conduct” the Chief, Town Administrator or Board may use whatever level of discipline it deems appropriate for the offense. Those levels include: A. Oral or Written Reprimand: Said reprimand will contain a statement of the offense, and the steps necessary for correction of the issue. Said reprimand will be reviewed by the parties and signed off and placed in the employee’s personnel file. If the employee refuses to sign off, this will be noted on the reprimand and be placed in the employee’s personnel file. Said reprimand may be appealed to the Town Administrator within 5 days and he shall render a decision within 3 working days. B. Administrative Leave (without pay): The Chief, with the concurrence of the Town Administrator may suspend an employee for a period up to ten working days for an offense.

If such immediate suspension is given the Town Administrator shall notify the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen within 48 hours. If the employee chooses he may appeal the decision of the Town Administrator to the Board of Selectmen with ten (10) days.
