Right to Hearing. a. Within five calendar days after receiving a recommendation of disciplinary action described above, the employee may request a hearing by signing and filing the card or paper included with the recommendation. Any other written document signed and appropriately filed within the specified time limit by the employee shall constitute a sufficient request for hearing. A request for hearing is filed only by delivering the request to the office of the Superintendent or designee during normal work hours of that office. A request for hearing may be mailed to the office of the Superintendent or designee but must be received or postmarked no later than the time limit stated herein. In cases where an order of suspension without pay has been issued in conjunction with a recommendation of dismissal, any request for hearing on the recommendation of dismissal shall also constitute a request for hearing on the suspension order, and the necessity of the order shall be an issue in the hearing. b. If the employee fails to file a request for hearing within the time specified in these rules, he/she shall be deemed to have waived his/her right to a hearing, and the Superintendent or designee may order the recommended disciplinary action into effect immediately.
