Common use of Alternative Discipline by Agreement Clause in Contracts

Alternative Discipline by Agreement. In considering appropriate disciplinary action, the Police Chief may require that an Officer be evaluated by a qualified professional designated by the Police Chief. If that professional recommends a program of counseling and/or rehabilitation for the Officer, the Police Chief may offer the Officer the opportunity to enter into an alternative disciplinary agreement under which the Officer would accept a temporary suspension of up to ninety (90) days and agree to successfully complete the program of counseling and/or rehabilitation recommended by the qualified professional designated by the Police Chief. The program of counseling and/or rehabilitation will be completed on the Officer's off duty time, unless the Police Chief approves the use of accrued vacation leave or sick leave. The Officer shall be responsible for paying all costs of the program of counseling and/or rehabilitation, which are not covered by the Officer's health insurance plan. If the Officer's misconduct involved alcohol related behavior, the Police Chief may require that the Officer submit to mandatory alcohol testing, when ordered by the Police Chief, for a specified period of time. If the Officer accepts the opportunity for agreed alternative discipline, the Officer may not appeal any terms of the Agreement. If the Officer fails to successfully complete the program of counseling and/or rehabilitation, the Officer may be indefinitely suspended without right of appeal.
