Reprimands & Suspensions Clause Samples

Reprimands & Suspensions. A written reprimand given by the Company to an employee will be signed by him and by the Shop ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ concerned, as an acknowledgement of its receipt, and a copy of the written reprimand will be sent to the Union immediately and shall be subject to the grievance procedure. When a reprimand or disciplinary action involves suspension from work for a day or longer, and if such suspension involves an employee who normally commutes, the notice of his suspension will be given to him the day before his suspension is to commence. This is to prevent the employee traveling to the mine on a given day and not being allowed to work that day. After the period of six (6) clear months has elapsed from the date the reprimand was issued, all reference to the reprimand will be stricken from the records. The Company will give written reprimands within three (3) working days of the occurrence of the event provided that there is reasonable access to the employee. Where an employee attends a meeting and the purpose of the meeting is to dispense any disciplinary measure (i.e. a written warning, suspension or termination) the employee will have a union representative present. The employee can advise his Union representative if he wants to decline representation at the meeting.
