The sheriff, or the appointing authority to whom the sheriff has delegated such disciplinary powers, may remove, discharge, suspend, or demote any employee in the classified service of the office of the sheriff, provided that within five days thereof, a written report of such action is made to the board, giving the reason or circumstances surrounding such disciplinary action. If any aggrieved employee is suspended for more than three days, removed, discharged, or demoted, he or she shall be entitled to a board hearing on such disciplinary action, upon written demand thereon within 10 days of such action. A hearing shall be held within 10 days of the receipt of the written request therefor. All meetings of the board on disciplinary matters shall be open to the public, and shall observe the aggrieved employee's right to face his or her accusers and be heard in his or her own defense. Pending a hearing on any disciplinary action, the aggrieved employee may be temporarily suspended. Upon a hearing, the board may order the employee reinstated with back pay from the time of such action to the date of reinstatement, or take or approve such disciplinary action as, in its judgment, is warranted by evidence and under the law. Either aggrieved party, the sheriff, or the employee shall, after an adverse hearing, have the right to rehearing and appeal as hereinafter provided.
