Harry's conduct-is•subject to corrective action up to <br />termination. <br />By his action and the subsequent court septencing, Harry is no <br />longer able to effect the duties of Tradesworker II. The primary, <br />areas of deficiency lie in his ability to respond to after hours <br />and weekend call request while driving a County vehicle. We feel <br />a work permit is insufficient to operate a County vehicle and as <br />such limits Harry's ability dispatch his duties as a Tradesworker <br />II. <br />Further, his arrest and sentence have seriously harmed Harry's <br />personal and professional reputation with the Sheriff's Department <br />employees operating the Jail. His effectiveness as a supervisor <br />and representative of this Division have been negatively impacted <br />..:by his actions. His relationship with fellow workers has suffered. <br />In lieu of termination, it is recommended .that Harry be <br />demoted to Tradesworker I and that his pay be adjusted to a level <br />consistent with other employees of similar longevity in the pay <br />classification. <br />Please let me know if you require additional information. <br />attachment, <br />2 <br />October 19, 1994 <br />
