What happens when a reliability concern is identified?

If a reasonable belief or credible evidence exists than an HRP-certified individual is not reliable, his or her supervisor must immediately do the following:

• Require the individual to stop performing HRP duties.
• Ensure the individual is denied both escorted and unescorted access to the HRP work areas.

Within 24 hours after taking the above actions, the supervisor must provide written notification to both the individual and the HRP management official of the reason for the actions.

Immediate removal from HRP duties is an interim, precautionary action and does not constitute a determination that the individual is not fit to perform his or her required duties. Removal is not, in itself, a cause for loss of pay, benefits, or other changes in employment status.
