Common use of JUST CAUSE DISCIPLINE Clause in Contracts

JUST CAUSE DISCIPLINE. ‌ No employee shall be discharged, suspended, disciplined or receive a deficiency downgrade except for just cause. The parties to this Agreement affirm the concept of progressive discipline. If prior discipline is considered in subsequent disciplinary actions, such prior discipline must be referenced in the new notice of discipline. Prior discipline that has been deemed to be removed from an employee’s record may not be used in determining the level of discipline issued in subsequent disciplinary actions. The sole and exclusive remedy for employees receiving written disciplinary action shall be to file a grievance in accordance with the Grievance Procedure set forth in this Agreement. Written reprimands, letters of suspension, letters of demotion, letters of termination and letters of deficiency downgrade given to an employee will contain the reasons for such action. All such notices shall be sent registered mail or delivered in person to the employee with a copy sent to the URA-AFT email address provided by the URA-AFT. An employee shall, upon request, be entitled to have a union representative present at any investigatory meeting or questioning which the employee reasonably believes could result in disciplinary action.
