MUTUALLY AGREED. Either the Department head may offer to impose, or the firefighter facing discipline may propose to accept, a suspension without pay for a period from sixteen (16) to ninety (90) days. If the firefighter accepts the mutually agreed suspension, there shall be no right of appeal and the firefighter must sign a waiver of appeal. It is also understood and agreed that if the Department head permits the firefighter to forfeit vacation days for suspension, such vacation or holiday time shall be considered as equal punishment to unpaid days of suspension. In no case will sick leave be forfeited for unpaid days of suspension. The forfeited vacation or holiday time will not constitute hours worked.
