Common use of False Accusations Clause in Contracts

False Accusations. Knowingly false accusations of misconduct against supervisors will not be tolerated. If an accusation of sexual misconduct or physical abuse against a supervisor is found by the DOE or Special Commissioner of Investigation to have been knowingly false when made, the DOE will take the following actions to restore the falsely accused supervisor’s reputation: removing all references to the charges from the supervisor’s personnel file(s) and adding evidence of the unfounded nature of the charge to any departmental files that may have to be maintained to satisfy other legal requirements, if any; and restoring any back pay owed with interest and, at the supervisor’s request, confirming to any regulatory agency the finding that the supervisor was falsely accused. The DOE will notify the subject within twenty (20) days of the issuance of an investigative report by the Special Commissioner of Investigation or the Office of Special Investigations. A rating of “Not Applicable (NA)” is to be used in situations where a supervisor is reassigned out of his/her regular assignment during an investigation. Once the investigation is completed, the NA rating will be changed to reflect the evaluation of the supervisor’s performance.
