Inquiry report review requires an opportunity for employee representation before findings and permits penalties without separate penalty representation.

Where the disciplinary authority is not the inquiring authority, it may remit the matter for further inquiry after recording written reasons. The employee must receive the inquiry report and any tentative reasons for disagreement, and may submit a written representation within fifteen days. The disciplinary authority must consider that representation and record findings before imposing penalties under the applicable categories in Regulation 87. No separate opportunity to represent on a proposed penalty is required for penalties within Regulation 87(b).
