investigations. If you did, you were not assigned and you did not complete any documents or account for the investigations as is routine. I find your testimony is simply an attempt to sanitize and make real- what is not reality in terms of your activities on the day in question. You have a responsibility to advise your supervisor of your activities as they occur, complete your assignments timely, and document your investigations and actions taken in each matter. You know how long your lunch period is supposed to be. Absent your supervisor approving an extended period, it is your duty to be responsible and return to duty at the appropriate time. If you did not receive relief from your supervisor in terms of timely responding to the hamster call, then it was your duty to answer the call. Your stated excuse is even less plausible when it is noted that you checked -out at 12:25PM from 1646 lot Place, less than two (1.6) miles -from the location where the hamsters were to be picked up at 103 SW Old Dixie. You were enroute to the Humane Society at 12:27PM and could have easily driven the short distance, completed your assignment by picking up the hamsters, and made one trip instead of two to the Humane Society saving the expenses related to the second trip. You also stated that you worked overtime for 45 minutes to make up the extra time you took for lunch. This is doubtful given your demonstrated work ethic and no proof was offered by you from your so called "log". I find that your testimony is unacceptable and not credible, in regard to this incident. What your log indicates is not as credible as the official log and supporting reports in explaining your activities for the day in question. You have not provided a sufficient explanation about why you did not timely respond to the call and absent that, I find that your conduct in this incident constitutes offenses as noted in the Indian River*County Administrative Policy Manual as follows: 1. Group One Offenses, Section AM -807.2 (6) Disregarding job duties by loafing or neglecting work during working hours, by failing to complete your assignments timely without good cause - or reason and sleeping when you were supposed to be at work. 2. Group 'One Offenses, Section AM -807.2 (18) Incompetence or inefficiency in the performance of assigned duties after corrective efforts have been tried and failed, by your demonstrated unacceptable conduct in completing assignments, reports, and tasks in your response zone as well, as failing to adhere to the verbal warning.given earlier by your supervisor. 3. Group Two Offenses, Section AM -807.2 (3) Neglecting to comply with requirements set' forth in departmental rules and standards of conduct, and AM -801.1 (i.q.) Performing assigned - tasks efficiently and in accord with established quality standards, by not completing assignments and documents. 4. Group Two Offenses, Section AM -807.2 (6) Being absent without permission or leave, by sleeping when you are supposed to be at work. INCIDENT #3 - UNABLE TO CONTACT WHILE ON-CALL DUTY JULY 1. 1993 ALLEGATION:, You were assigned on-call duty until midnight on July 1, 1993.
