Minor penalty disciplinary procedure requires written notice, representation, findings, and mandatory inquiry for pension-affecting or cumulative increment withholding.

An order imposing a specified minor penalty requires written notice of the proposed action and imputations, a reasonable opportunity for representation, consideration of the representation and inquiry record, and findings on every imputation. An inquiry is mandatory before withholding pay increments where pension may be adversely affected, the withholding exceeds three years, or it has cumulative effect. The record must include the intimation, imputations, representation, evidence, findings, any Commission advice, and reasoned order.
