Does a Record of Disciplinary Actions that Have Been Taken against an Employee Automatically Disqualify the Employee?
The COM, or his/her designee, must assess the gravity of the reasons for the disciplinary action and whether the record as a whole, notwithstanding the disciplinary actions, is one of faithful service. It will generally be more difficult for an employee to demonstrate faithful service if the record reflects that disciplinary action has been taken against the employee.
