Investigations by Civil Service Commission

When any person has reason to believe that an employee has violated § 5103, he may report the matter to the Civil Service Commission. On receipt of a written report which seems to the Commission to warrant an investigation, the Commission may investigate the matter in accordance with the provisions of the rules and procedures, if any, established by the Civil Service Commission and the following:

(a)All hearings shall be conducted before the entire Commission; and

(b)The decision of the Commission shall include a determination of whether a violation of § 5103 has occurred and whether a violation warrants the removal of the employee from his employment. Should the Commission determine that removal is not warranted but that a violation of § 5103 did occur, a penalty of not more than thirty

(30)days’ suspension without pay shall be imposed at the direction of the Commission.
