An employment expert says the Public Service Commission must undergo due process in its handling of Andrew Coster.
A scathing IPCA report's found the former Police Commissioner was among those in senior police leadership who failed to properly address sex allegations against the then Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming.
McSkimming last week admitted to possessing child sexual exploitation and bestiality material.
Coster is now head of the Social Investment Agency and being investigated by his employer, the Public Service Commissioner.
Max Whitehead told Ryan Bridge there must be just cause for termination.
He says bringing the organisation into disrepute is a sackable offence.
