Synopsis
|
Grievant is employed as a Health Service Assistant. Grievant challenges his reprimand and suspension for five days for violating policies related to employee conduct, including not meeting professional expectations. Respondent proved by a preponderance of the evidence that Grievant engaged in the behavior as charged. The suspension was proper and justified as Grievant’s behavioral issues had been addressed for many years, and had not improved, even after having been placed on improvement plans. This grievance is denied.
