§ 14-201. At-will employment.  


Latest version.
  • Since employees of the town are employed "at will", dismissal can take place at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. Discipline or dismissal may result from such policy violations as insubordination, dangerous behavior or horseplay, felony or misdemeanor conviction, neglect of duty, drug or alcohol use, theft or unauthorized use of town resources, falsification of documents, incompetence, or other actions that violate policies or disrupt the workplace.

    Discipline is determined by supervisors and managers and may include a progressive discipline process. The progressive discipline process includes steps such as a verbal warning, written reprimand, suspension from duty, demotion, final warning, and separation by involuntary dismissal.

    In the event of dismissal, the employee will be provided with such notice and rights to be heard as are required by law.
