Common use of Summary Suspension Clause in Contracts

Summary Suspension. Prior to any disciplinary proceedings under this section, the appointing authority may summarily place any County employee on an immediate suspended status without pay. Such suspensions shall be made in cases where the employee’s continued active duty status might, in the sole opinion of the appointing authority, constitute a hazard to the employee or others; tend to bring the County service into discredit; or prolong acts or omission of improper employee conduct. This section also applies to employees in the classes of Employment Services Instructor I-II pursuant to the footnote in Article 20 of this Agreement. If a disciplinary action or suspension is not subsequently ordered and/or affirmed, the employee shall be reinstated in status and restored all pay and fringe benefits lost during such summary suspension.
