Town of Falmouth v. Civil Service Commn, 447 Mass. 814, 823 (2006) and cases cited. As prescribed by G.L.c.31, 43, 2, the Appointing Authority bears the burden of proving just cause for the discipline imposed by a preponderance of the evidence.

Town of Falmouth v. Civil Service Commn, 447 Mass. 814, 823 (2006) and cases cited. It is also a basic tenet of merit principles which govern civil service law that discipline must be remedial, not punitive, designed to correct inadequate performance and separating employees whose inadequate performance cannot be corrected. G.L. c.31,1.
