SEPARATION FROM EMPLOYMENT

Section 7.1 Resignation: It is the responsibility of an employee who plans to resign to notify the Executive Director in advance as follows:

1. At least one (1) month notice for regular employees.

2. At least two (2) weeks notice for temporary or part-time employees.

Section 7.2 Separations and Lay-offs: The Executive Director may lay off or separate an employee when the position to which said employee has been assigned is abolished or when funds are not available to pay the salary. If it is necessary to reduce personnel, the selection of employees to be retained shall be based primarily upon their relative efficiency. Other things being equal, temporary employees shall be separated before regular employees. At least one (1) month advance notice shall be given an employee prior to dismissal except in cases of improper conduct as referred to in Section 7.3, when no notice will be required but may be given at the discretion of the Executive Director. Dismissal papers shall reflect the reason for separation.

Section 7.3 Dismissals: An employee who gives unsatisfactory service, who is guilty of conduct unbecoming the agency, shall be subject to dismissal after a fair review before the Executive Director.

Section 7.5 Appeals: If any employee feels there is ground for appeal from lay-off or separation from employment, the employee may appeal to the Executive Committee in writing within fourteen (14) calendar days and a hearing shall be held by the Executive Committee. In no event shall the hearing be delayed later than sixty (60) calendar days after lay-off or separation.

Section 7.6 Suspension from Employment: The Executive Director may suspend any employee from his position for cause without pay pending a hearing by the Executive Committee after fifteen (15) days written notice has been given to all parties involved.
