Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) PBA Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) Practice Exam

What banks can an employee use to satisfy disciplinary suspension days?

Sick leave Vacation or comp Personal leave Holidays

Correct Answer:

Vacation or comp

Explanation:

When a disciplinary suspension is imposed, the days are handled as off-work time the employee must serve. The PBSO CBA allows the suspension days to be satisfied by using a bank of vacation leave or compensatory time. These banks are designed for paid time off and can be tapped to cover the suspension, so the employee uses time they have already earned rather than remaining unpaid. Sick leave is meant for illness or injury, not to fulfill disciplinary penalties, so it isn’t used to satisfy suspension days. Holidays are fixed paid days and aren’t applied to disciplinary suspensions. Personal leave is for personal reasons and typically isn’t designated to cover suspensions, or may require approval, making it unsuitable for guaranteeing coverage of suspension days.
