The Veterans Affairs Department says it’s no longer routinely placing employees accused of misconduct on paid administrative leave, but on detail to another area in the department instead. Deputy Secretary Sloan Gibson said the VA is also conducting its own disciplinary investigations separate from the inspector general. He told the House Veterans Affairs Committee the IG disciplinary reviews take too long and cost too much.
In the private sector, they employee would be suspended without pay, at best. A brief "investigation" may or may not be conducted, and if irrefutable proof of innocence isn't quickly obvious, the worker is fired.
BS
ReplyDeleteI can agree with the "takes too long", but the " too expensive" is a crock when organizational oversight is lacking.
