After an investigation, the commission may affirm the dismissal or if it finds that the dismissal was made for political or religious reasons, or because of reasons of age as described in ORS chapter 659A, or was not made in good faith for cause, shall order the immediate reinstatement and reemployment of the employee in the position from which the employee was dismissed. Reinstatement shall be retroactive and entitle the dismissed employee to pay or compensation from the time of dismissal. The commission, upon investigation, in lieu of affirming the dismissal, may modify the order of dismissal, by directing a suspension without pay for a given period, and a subsequent restoration to duty, or a demotion in classification, grade or pay. The findings of the commission shall be certified in writing to the appointing power and forthwith enforced by the appointing power. [Amended by 1959 c.689 9; 1977 c.400 2; 1977 c.770 8; 1993 c.778 25; 2001 c.621 73]
