Supervisor the target of employee's disrespectful and aggressive behavior
An employee was served with disciplinary charges pursuant to §75 of the Civil Service Law alleging that he acted disrespectfully and aggressively towards his supervisor and caused disruption in the workplace. The worker denied any wrongdoing.
The appointing authority presented three witnesses who were present at the scene and all credibly testified as to employee's misconduct.
New York City Office of Administrative Trials and Hearing Administrative Law Judge Noel R. Garcia found that appointing authority proved that employee behaved in a discourteous manner towards his supervisor and caused disruption to the workplace.
The ALJ recommended that the employee be suspended without pay for ten days.
