Dear Mr. Employee:
Subject: Temporary Assignment to Work at a Different Location
Effective immediately, you are temporarily assigned to work at home pending an investigation into alleged misconduct on your part. You are directed to remain at your home between the work hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a one-hour meal break from noon to 1:00 p.m. during which you are at liberty to leave your residence. You are directed to be available to be reached by telephone during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you are unable to be reached by telephone during those hours while on this assignment, the time that you are unavailable will be considered Absence without Leave (AWOL) and disciplinary action will be taken.
You will remain in this status until the investigation is completed, at which time you will be contacted with further directions. While you are on this assignment, you will continue to receive your normal pay and benefits.
Should you wish to conduct personal business away from your home or attend a medical appointment during the period you are assigned to work at home, please call me to let me know the day and hours to code to vacation or sick leave, as appropriate.
I want to remind you that the County has a firm no retaliation policy, and therefore you are instructed not to take any actions or make any statements that could be construed as retaliatory against anyone you believe may have been involved. You are also instructed not to attempt to influence or coerce anyone who may be a witness in this matter to provide false, misleading or incomplete testimony or information, and you are prohibited from concealing, altering, tampering with, or destroying any potential evidence related to the subject of this investigation. You are further directed to not access your work computer system while on this temporary assignment without receiving advance permission from me. Should you need to retrieve any personal belongings from the office, you are to call either me at (phone #) or WHO at X???? to arrange for any personal items to be sent to you.
Sincerely,
Manager
