Suspension;
Demotion;. A. When it is determined that a Suspension without pay or a Demotion is appropriate, the supervisor and/or District administrator shall meet with the employee to discuss the unsatisfactory performance and/or misconduct and the proposed Suspension without pay or a Demotion letter. The employee shall be notified that s/he has the right to have a Representative present at the meeting. (2007)
Suspension;
Demotion;. The suspension, with or without pay, or demotion of an employee shall be used in specific instances, often following repeated verbal and/or written warnings, where the continued presence of an employee is disruptive to fellow employees, a safety hazard, or when an alleged offense requires extensive investigation or verification. The absence of any prior verbal or written warnings does not preclude the use of suspension or demotion when circumstances surrounding a single offense are grave enough to warrant such action. The right to suspend or demote any Department employee for just cause may only be initiated by the Chief of the Department or his designee in his absence.
Suspension;
Demotion;. Dismissal. The principles of the progressive discipline shall be followed. However, the above stated disciplinary steps may not be appropriate for all offenses or infractions and need not be applied in sequence depending upon the severity of the offense or infraction involved. No employee covered by this Agreement shall be suspended without pay, or dismissed without first having been given notice in writing of the disciplinary action to be taken, except as otherwise specifically provided hereinafter. Notice in writing means notice to the employee, Chief Xxxxxxx(s), and MSEA Field Services. The conduct for which disciplinary action is being imposed and the action to be taken shall be specified in a written notice. Any employee receiving a notice of suspension or dismissal will be afforded an opportunity to meet with the Selecting Authority or Hiring Authority or the employer’s representative prior to the action proposed. A union representative/xxxxxxx may be present. An employee may be suspended, demoted or dismissed prior to the notice of discipline in instances of gross misconduct, or instances where the selecting authority or designee determines that the employee's continued presence on the job represents a potential danger to persons or property, or would severely interfere with the Judicial Branch operations or security. Any employee suspended without pay or dismissed may initiate appeal of such disciplinary action at step 2 of the Grievance Procedure within fifteen (15) workdays after the employee receives the written notification of the disciplinary action from the appropriate authority. An employee’s right to privacy concerning disciplinary matters shall be protected to the extent possible by the parties. This shall not be construed to prohibit Judicial Branch staff members with a legitimate business reason to know to be granted access to such records.
