Common use of Discipline 4 Clause in Contracts

Discipline 4. 02.01 The City shall endeavour to apply discipline consistently and fairly. The Union recognizes the right of the City to discipline employees for just cause. An employee may receive a written disciplinary report, be discharged, suspended, or otherwise disciplined for just cause. Copies of all disciplinary reports, suspensions, discharges or other discipline shall be provided to the employee and the Union, and such documentation shall clearly indicate the exact nature of the discipline and the reasons it is being applied. Such disciplinary documentation shall be issued within 15 working days of the date the disciplinary infraction became known to the City. Should the infraction investigation require more than 15 working days, the employee will be advised through a Notice of Investigation, and a copy will be sent to the Union. A Notice of Investigation form is not discipline. Should the employee or the Union be of the opinion that the discipline is improper, then that disciplinary action may be the subject of a grievance and processed in accordance with the grievance procedure of this Agreement. 4.02.02 Documented oral counselling forms or counselling letters shall be deemed void, for the purpose of supporting discipline, after an employee has maintained a clear record with no infractions for 12 months of active employment. Where a supervisor issues a documented oral counselling form or counselling letter, the employee will be given a copy of such documentation.
