Judge Greg Guidry on Employer and Employee Rights
From Judgepedia
This Court affirmed and amended a decision of the district court to uphold an employee’s suspension without pay from his employment with the parish for an infraction of workplace decorum. Judge Guidry wrote the opinion of the court, which held that:
(1) hearing examiner was not clearly wrong in his factual findings and in decreeing that parish employee's behavior, namely tossing four pieces of pipe into the air which struck manager in the chest, was an infraction of workplace decorum; and
(2) hearing examiner's imposition of suspension without pay for seven months was arbitrary and exceeded the dereliction, and as a result, employee's suspension would be reduced to one month without pay.
