Common use of Critical Material Clause in Contracts

Critical Material. No material reflecting critically upon the employee shall be placed in the employee’s personnel file without the employee’s signature or the opportunity to sign the material. Signature by the employee does not necessarily indicate agreement with the material. A copy of the material shall be provided to the employee within seven (7) business days of its placement in the file. Any disciplinary material shall be removed from the personnel file after three (3) years provided there are no related disciplinary actions. Disciplinary material found in a file after the three (3) year period shall be disregarded and removed. This may be at the written request of the employee or his union representative. Any disciplinary material, investigation reports or other negative information that is serious enough to prevent appointment into a DPSST certified position will be exempt from removal from file.
