Disciplinary Conference. Whenever the Employer determines that disciplinary action is appropriate, a disciplinary conference shall be promptly scheduled and held with the employee pursuant to this Article. Only upon mutual agreement between the employee and the convening management official, or in an emergency, shall a disciplinary conference be scheduled for the employee's regular day off. Subject to the same exceptions, the disciplinary conference shall be scheduled for the employee's own shift, or, in the case of a night shift employee, within one hour from the beginning or end of the employee's shift. All disciplinary conferences shall be considered as the employee's work time. Such conferences may be postponed or rescheduled by mutual agreement between the parties. Such agreement shall not be arbitrarily withheld. The employee may waive entitlement to such disciplinary conference; in such event no conference shall be required. The Employer is not required to postpone a disciplinary conference for an employee on extended sick leave, leave of absence, or who is incarcerated. The Employer shall advise such employee of his/her right to submit a written statement in response to the statement of charges and to have a Union Representative present at the conference to represent his/her interests.
