The purpose and effect of the amendment is to update disciplinary standards to current Department expectations for members.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule provides for a modern disciplinary range based on the frequency and nature of a particular offense and the circumstances surrounding each case; requires the Disciplinary Authority to consider the Florida Administrative Code, the seriousness of the offense, and an employee’s entire work history in reaching disciplinary decisions; expands offenses and/or deficiencies to encompass commonly occurring conduct;  adds clarity for the Department’s members of their expectations while adding structure to the Disciplinary Authority’s responsibility; and limits suspension duration to ensure appropriate balance between behavior modification and financial hardship on the member.
