SKELLY OFFICER INSTRUCTIONS
The function of the Skelly Officer is to evaluate whether there are reasonable grounds to believe that 1) the employee engaged in the alleged misconduct; and 2) that the severity of the misconduct supports the proposed level of discipline. A Skelly meeting is not an “evidentiary hearing,” or a chance for the employee’s representative to “litigate” the case, but rather a meeting where an employee is provided an opportunity to be heard. Additionally, a Skelly meeting is not an opportunity for the employee or their representative to try and reach a settlement on the discipline level. The City conducts a review of similar disciplinary cases to ensure consistency and mitigate the risk of disparate treatment. Accordingly, the Skelly Officer must not substitute their judgment with respect to the level of discipline proposed – but rather must reach a conclusion as to whether there are reasonable grounds to justify the discipline proposed. Skelly Officers who make a recommendation to sustain, modify, or revoke a discipline must do so based on objective factors and accompanied by a detailed written explanation articulating the reason(s) for their recommendation. Unwarranted modification may expose the City to claims of unequal treatment. Please include copies of any evidence and/or documents that were provided by the employee during the Skelly meeting.
