AB 2559, as introduced, Eggman. Community college employees: suspension.
Existing law specifies the grounds upon which a contract or regular employee of a community college district may be dismissed or penalized, as specified. Existing law provides that the governing board shall determine whether a contract or regular employee is to be dismissed or penalized, and if the employee is to be penalized, the governing board shall determine the nature of those penalties. Existing law authorizes the governing board to impose one of two penalties: suspension for up to one year or suspension for up to one year and a reduction or loss of compensation during the period of suspension. If a governing board decides it intends to dismiss or penalize a contract or regular employee, existing law requires that it deliver a written statement to the employee setting forth the decision of the governing board and its reasons.
This bill would specify, for purposes of these provisions, that a suspension includes, but is not limited to, involuntary leave with partial or full compensation during the period of leave.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
