For Cause Revocation Clause Samples
For Cause Revocation. In the event that revocation of the authority to carry a firearm occurs for cause, the employer/employee relationship may be terminated. “For cause” may include on or off duty misconduct, unsatisfactory performance, or failure to follow proper procedures. Under this provision, if the matter is submitted to the grievance and arbitration provisions of the contract, the authority of an arbitrator will be strictly limited to the following.
1. If, after a review of the facts, the arbitrator determines that there are valid reasons to revoke the authority to carry a firearm, the decision to terminate cannot be disturbed.
2. If, after a review of the facts, the arbitrator determines that no misconduct, unsatisfactory performance, failure to follow procedures, etc., has occurred, or that the infractions were of a kind and level which make the decision to revoke authority without cause, the only remedy may be to order or permit the exercise of the options contained under the without cause revocation language above, and to order other appropriate discipline and back pay and benefits less interim earnings if appropriate.
