must be taken, the department head or elected official should hold a hearing with the

the employee as soon after the suspension takes effect as is practicable. The employee will
be informed of the reason for the hearing and will be afforded an opportunity to respond to
the charges. The hearing may be very informal, with no required prior notice. No other person
besides the department head or elected official, along with a member of Human Resources,
if desired, and the employee may be present at the hearing. If the department head or elected

of a hearing as provided in this Section.
