DISCHARGE CASES 10.01 In the event of an Employee who has attained seniority being discharged from employment, and the Employee feeling that an injustice has been done, the case may be taken up as a grievance.
Discharge Grievance (a) An employee shall only be discharged from the employment for just cause, except that an employee who has not completed the probationary period may be released based on a fair and proper assessment against reasonable standards of performance and suitability. An allegation of action contrary to this clause may be taken up as a grievance. As a good labour relations practice, the Home agrees to provide written reasons within seven (7) calendar days to the affected employee in the case of discharge or suspension.
Discharge Procedure When an employee is discharged or suspended, the employee and the Union shall be advised promptly in writing by the Employer as to the reason for such discharge or suspension.
Discharge Grievances All discharge grievances shall be filed at Step 2 of the Grievance Procedure within fourteen (14) days of the effective date of discharge.
Discharge Planning If further care at home or in another facility is appropriate following discharge from the Hospital, Blue Shield will work with the Member, the attending Physician and the Hospital discharge planners to determine the most appropriate and cost effective way to provide this care.
