Common use of Suspension to Maintain Program Integrity and Public Confidence Clause in Contracts

Suspension to Maintain Program Integrity and Public Confidence. Any employee indicted by a grand jury, or against whom a criminal charge has been brought by a prosecuting attorney for conduct on or off the job, may be immediately suspended from duty without pay. Such suspension may, at the discretion of the Appointing Authority, remain in effect until the indictment or charge has been fully disposed of by trial, quashing or dismissal. Nothing herein shall prevent an employee from grieving the reasonableness of a suspension under this Subsection, where the employee contends that the charge does not arise out of the job or is not related to the job, except that suspension for a felony charge shall not be appealable. An employee who has been tried and convicted on the original or a reduced charge and whose conviction is not reversed, may be disciplined or dismissed upon proper notice without further charges being brought and such action shall be appealable through the grievance procedure. The record from any trial or hearing may be introduced by the Employer or the Union in the grievance procedure, including arbitration. Under this circumstance a disciplinary conference will be conducted only upon written request of the employee. An employee whose indictment is quashed or dismissed, or who is acquitted following trial, shall be reinstated in good standing and made whole if previously suspended in connection therewith unless disciplinary charges, if not previously brought, are filed within ten weekdays of receipt of confirmation at the employee’s Personnel Office of the results of the case, and appropriate action in accordance with this Article is taken concerning the employee. Nothing provided herein shall prevent the Employer from disciplining an employee for just cause at any time irrespective of criminal actions taken against an employee and irrespective of their outcome. Further, the Employer reserves the right to take disciplinary action against an employee who is charged with a criminal offense who, through a plea arrangement, is neither convicted nor acquitted of the original or reduced criminal charges, based on the Employer’s investigation and determination that the employee’s conduct violated one or more work rules.
