Progressive and Corrective Discipline. a. The parties subscribe to the principles of progressive corrective discipline in cases in which it appears likely to successfully correct a member's unsatisfactory performance, conduct or behavior. However, progressive corrective discipline shall not be required in the case of serious infractions which justify immediate suspension, discharge, or in other cases in which it does not appear likely to result in successful correction. Nothing contained in the Agreement shall be construed to prevent the Employer from imposing Level 3 or Level 4 discipline immediately after informal hearing in appropriate cases, or from placing any employee on administrative leave pending further investigation.
