The City reserves the right to use <br />discretion and to deviate from this policy. <br /> <br />City employees are expected to fulfill their duties and responsibilities at <br />the level required, including observance of work rules and standards of <br />conduct. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action. <br /> <br />Discipline will be administered in a non-discriminatory manner. The <br />supervisor will normally investigate any allegation on which disciplinary <br />action might be based before any disciplinary action is taken. <br />17.2 Process <br />The City of Centerville will normally use progressive fair discipline with full- <br />time regular employees.
