Appeals to Commission.

Memphis Charter, art. 34, § 247

in effect

Sec. [247]. - Appeals to Commission. Any employee holding a position not exempted from the provisions of this article and not in his initial probationary period, who has been suspended in excess of ten (10) days, terminated, or demoted, may appeal to the Commission within ten (10) calendar days after notification in writing of such action. In the event of multiple suspensions, only that suspension which causes the total number of days suspended to exceed five (5) days within a six-month period and any subsequent suspension within said period shall be appealable to the Commission. If an employee has previously elected a remedy other than as provided by federal law, he shall be barred from appealing to the Civil Service Commission, except that informal appeals within the particular division or within the administration shall not bar an appeal to the Commission. In no event shall the ten (10)-day time period for appealing to the Commission be waived. (Ord. No. 3233, § 4, 8-31-1982)
