Harris pleaded guilty to the charge in December.
Court was told Harris struck a woman in the face during a domestic argument on May 9, 2014.
He was initially placed on administrative leave with pay, but was fired a short time later by Premier Stephen McNeil.
McNeil said the termination was necessary because Harris waited four days to tell the government he was facing a charge.
