For how long is a QC Manager typically suspended?

A Quality Control (QC) Manager's suspension usually lasts for one year as a measure of accountability and to ensure compliance with quality standards established by FDOT. During this period, the QC Manager is expected to reflect on the issues that led to the suspension, undergo additional training, and implement recommended best practices to prevent future occurrences. The one-year duration is a balanced approach, providing enough time for improvement and assessment without being excessively punitive, allowing the individual to potentially return to their position with a renewed focus on quality control guidelines and methodologies. This timeframe is aligned with industry standards for corrective actions in the realm of quality management, ensuring the integrity of the QC process is upheld while allowing for personal and professional growth.
