Minor penalty procedure requires notice, representation, recorded findings, and mandatory inquiry for specified increment-withholding consequences.

Minor penalty proceedings require written notice of the proposed action and alleged misconduct or misbehaviour, a reasonable opportunity for representation, consideration of the representation and any inquiry record, and findings on each imputation. A prescribed inquiry is mandatory before withholding increments where pension may be adversely affected, the withholding exceeds three years, or it has cumulative effect. The record must include notices, imputations, representation, evidence, any Commission advice, findings, and a reasoned order.
