101.12. Section 26.12. No person shall be reduced in pay or position, laid off, suspended, discharged or otherwise discriminated against by any appointing officer for religious or political reasons or affiliations. In all cases of reductions, layoff or suspension of an employee or subordinate whether appointed for a definite term or otherwise, the appointing authority shall furnish such employee or subordinate with a copy of reasons for layoff, reduction or suspension, and his reasons for the same, and give such employee or subordinate a reasonable time in which to make and file an explanation. Such order, together with the explanation, if any, of the subordinate shall be filed with the commission. Nothing in this charter amendment shall limit the power of an appointing officer to suspend without pay, for the purpose of discipline, an employee or subordinate for a reasonable period, not exceeding thirty (30) days; provided, however, that successive suspensions shall not be allowed, and provided, further, that the provisions of this charter amendment shall not apply to the temporary and exceptional appointments made under the authority of this charter amendment.
