Common use of Disciplinary Grievance Process Clause in Contracts

Disciplinary Grievance Process. (a) Investigation/initiation of charges/informal hearing (1) Upon receiving information that indicates an employee may have committed a disciplinary infraction, or upon an employee being barred from work under the provision of paragraph D of this Section 601, the Director, Deputy Director or Assistant Director will place a notice in the Union Section Officer's mail box indicating that he/she is initiating a comprehensive investigation to determine if disciplinary charges are appropriate. The Authority will provide a mail box at each location that has a Section Officer. Time limits under this section shall not begin to run until such notice has been afforded. In the case of an investigation triggered by the suspicion that an employee is engaged in knowingly improper fare registration, theft, fraud, or criminal misconduct, the Authority may conduct an investigation to gather evidence of new acts of misconduct that would serve as a basis to discipline an employee without prior notice to the Union, provided, however, that within two (2) working days of obtaining such evidence, notice shall be provided to the Union Section Officer along with all documents, reports and other information related to the matter.
