Common use of Disciplinary Interviews Clause in Contracts

Disciplinary Interviews. 1606 When dealing with an employee’s conduct that will likely result in discipline, suspension or discharge, the Employer shall advise any such potentially affected employee of his or her right to Union representation. In doing so, the employer agrees to make all reasonable efforts to secure Union representation prior to commencing the interview. 1607 Following a disciplinary interview(s) as describe in article 1606 above, and where the Employer now intends to discipline, suspend or discharge the employee, the Company will ensure the employee and the Union are provided with written notice of such final action, including the general reasons for the disciplinary action. Where a final decision has not been concluded following the meeting, the Employer shall render its final decision in writing within seven (7) calendar days of the interview and will include with such decisions the reason(s). While the Employer understands the need for the timely administration of such disciplinary action, should a time extension become necessary the parties agree to not unreasonably withhold such a request. The Employer agrees to provide the aforementioned decision to the union at the same time as the employee. Nothing in this agreement shall prohibit the Employer from removing an employee from the workplace during the course of such investigation and/or contemplation of suspension or discharge action described above. 1608 Written notice of dismissal or discharge for cause shall be given to the union at the same time as notice is given to the employee.
