Except as to a member of the Police and Fire Divisions of the City, when an employee in the classified service of the City other than a temporary employee, whether appointed for a definite term or otherwise, is reduced in pay or position, suspended or discharged, the appointing authority shall furnish such employee with a copy of the order of reduction, discharge or suspension which order shall state the specification of facts with sufficient clarity to enable the employee to make an explanation. A copy of such order shall be filed concurrently with the Commission at the time of presentation to the employee. The employee shall thereafter be afforded a reasonable time, not to exceed five calendar days, in which to file an explanation with the appointing authority. Within three days after the date of filing of such an explanation with the appointing authority, the same shall be filed with the Commission by the appointing authority, and if no explanation has been filed by the employee, a statement to this effect shall be filed in lieu thereof with the Commission.
