(A) The Manager shall prepare general rules of conduct for town employees and appropriate disciplinary actions to be followed if the rules are violated. However, neither the rules of conduct nor the appropriate disciplinary actions shall be limiting or considered all inclusive, nor shall they bestow a legal property right of employment to the employee, but shall only serve as examples for administering the provisions of this chapter. Publication in the employee handbook and/or posting on departmental bulletin boards shall constitute employee notification of rules and rule changes.
(B) An employee may be demoted if he or she should demonstrate incapacity or incapability in his or her current assignment. Department heads shall provide written justification for any recommended demotion to the Manager who has the only authority to demote a permanent employee.
