§ 3392.1. Allegation Inquiry and Investigation Findings.
Currentness
(a) Upon receipt and review of an allegation inquiry report, investigation report, or approval of direct adverse action, the hiring authority shall render a determination for each allegation for each subject. The findings and their explanations are as follows:
(1) NO FINDING: The complainant failed to disclose promised information to further the investigation; the investigation revealed that another agency was involved and the complainant has been referred to that agency; the complainant wishes to withdraw the complaint; the complainant refuses to cooperate with the investigation; or the complainant is no longer available for clarification of facts/issues.
(2) NOT SUSTAINED: The investigation failed to disclose a preponderance of evidence to prove or disprove the allegation made in the complaint.
(3) UNFOUNDED: The investigation conclusively proved that the act(s) alleged did not occur, or the act(s) may have, or in fact, occurred but the individual employee(s) named in the complaint(s) was not involved.
(4) EXONERATED: The facts, which provided the basis for the complaint or allegation, did in fact occur; however, the investigation revealed that the actions were justified, lawful, and proper.
(5) SUSTAINED: The investigation disclosed a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegation(s) made in the complaint.
(b) If the hiring authority finds an allegation inquiry report insufficient to make investigation findings, the hiring authority shall refer the case to OIA for investigation.
(c) When a hiring authority sustains misconduct as a result of an allegation inquiry, only corrective action can be imposed unless a request for direct adverse action is approved by OIA.
