If the commission sustains the employee, it may order paid all or part of his full compensation from the time of suspension, demotion, or dismissal, and it shall order his reinstatement upon such terms and conditions as it may determine appropriate. The commission may modify the disciplinary action, but may not make the action more stringent than that approved by the board. In addition, the commission may direct such other action as it may find necessary to effect a just settlement of the appeal, including, but not limited to, compensation for all or part of the legitimate expenses incurred in pursuit of the appeal, seniority credit for off-duty time pending reinstatement, transfer or change of location of the employee, and expunction from the employee’s personnel record of disciplinary actions, cause, and charges which were not sustained by the commission. Upon receipt of the commission’s written decision the board shall forthwith comply with the provisions thereof. When the board has fully complied with the commission’s decision it shall so notify the commission in writing.
(Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
