Section 1.170  Level of Discipline

In determining the appropriate level of discipline, the Commission shall consider the nature of the offense, the employee's performance record, including disciplinary history, the employee's length of continuous service, and other relevant factors. Cause for discharge means some substantial shortcoming that in some way renders the employee's continuance in the position detrimental to the discipline and efficiency of the service and that law and sound public opinion recognize as good cause for the employee's removal from the position.
