Rehearing in this matter is granted for the limited purpose of amending our

original opinion to award Mr. Matusoff all back wages and emoluments of

employment from the date of his termination until the day of his reinstatement with

the exception of the period from February 12, 2019 through March 11, 2019.1

Accordingly, we now amend our opinion as such.

to be a waiver of back pay for the period of time occasioned by the delay, unless the Commission
