Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent was employed as a patrolman by the appellant from May 2006. He absented himself from work from 21 January to 23 February 2009, after which his salary was stopped without a disciplinary hearing. After various procedural irregularities and delays, disciplinary proceedings were eventually conducted in January 2012, resulting in dismissal on 11 April 2013. The arbitrator ordered reinstatement, which the appellant appealed.
