Copy as parenthetical citation

An appointing authority, from time to time, may suspend an employee without pay or other compensation as punishment for improper behavior, but no employee may be suspended for a period or periods within the aggregate of more that 30 days in any year’s service. A suspension may be effected by serving written notice upon the employee together with a statement clearly setting forth the causes thereof; a copy of which shall be forthwith mailed or delivered to the director. The suspended employee may file with the board and the appointing authority a written answer or explanation of the assigned charges and such answer shall be preserved as a part of the public record and the board, for cause shown, may set aside such suspension order.
