In the event of a suspension without pay, if the employee intends to leave Hillsborough County, who should be notified to provide phone number and address?

• A. HR Director
• B. The Sheriff
• C. The Major
• D. The County Administrator

Answer: (C)

When an employee is suspended without pay and plans to leave, the person in charge of the unit—who handles personnel actions—should be the one you notify to obtain current contact information. The Major is that supervisor within the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, so they coordinate with Human Resources to capture or update the employee’s phone number and address for notices, exit communications, and any required documentation. The Sheriff leads the agency at the top level, but day-to-day personnel updates like contact details during a suspension are handled by the supervising Major. The County Administrator sits above county operations and isn’t involved in internal Sheriff’s Office personnel matters, and the HR Director handles broader HR policy rather than serving as the point of contact for individual employees’ contact updates.
