15-day suspension for employee who refused to remove her Bluetooth device.
A community coordinator was alleged to have refused to remove her Bluetooth
earpiece when ordered to do so and to have responded disrespectfully to
her supervisor. ALJ Alessandra F. Zorgniotti sustained the charges and
after considering that respondent had already been disciplined twice for
refusing to remove her Bluetooth earpiece, recommended a 15 work day suspension
without pay.
