CODAC Management Manual

• Investigative Suspension – Utilized only with legal counsel guidance. • Termination – Termination is the last and most serious step in the disciplinary action process. Generally, CODAC will try to provide coaching opportunities, warnings, performance improvement opportunities prior to proceeding to a recommendation to terminate employment. However, CODAC reserves the right to combine and skip steps depending on the circumstances of each situation and the nature of the offense. Furthermore, employees may be terminated without prior notice or disciplinary action. Employee terminations must be reviewed by and coordinated with Employee Relations in advance.
