D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 1, r. 1-1116
In recommending disciplinary action, the Board shall consult with legal and personnel professionals, as needed.
The Board may recommend that no action be taken where it finds a justification for the violation. Justification may include overspending as a result of court orders, entitlements, or explicit authorization in an appropriations act.
The decision of the Board to adopt a report of its findings and recommendations is determined by an affirmative vote of at least three (3) Members present.
The Board has adopted a table of penalties for violations, intended to be used as a non-binding guide that categorizes violations under the three (3) broad headings of Reporting, Budget Adherence, and Accounting and Disbursement. Within each category, the Board has prescribed penalties for first, second and third violations, including: a letter of warning, official reprimand, ten (10)-day suspension, demotion, and termination of employment (removal). [See "Table of Appropriate Penalties", attached.]
