DISCIPLINARY ACTION Section A. General Sample Clauses

DISCIPLINARY ACTION Section A. General. The Union recognizes the authority and responsibility of the Employer to take timely, and reasonable disciplinary action against employees for just cause. Discipline will normally be progressive in nature; however, the Employer shall have the right to invoke a penalty which is appropriate to the seriousness of an individual incident or situation. For purposes of this Article, disciplinary action, or investigation to determine whether disciplinary action should be taken, is timely only when commenced within 21 calendar days following the date on which the Employer had reasonable basis to believe that such action or investigation should be taken. Disciplinary action includes: written reprimand; involuntary demotions; suspension without pay; forfeiture of accrued annual leave in lieu of suspension; payment of fines in lieu of suspension; unsatisfactory or follow-up interim rating and discharge. The suspension without pay of a probationary employee during or at the end of the pay period in which the initial probationary period expires, pending separation for unsatisfactory service, as well as the separation itself in such circumstances, shall not be considered disciplinary action for purposes of this Article. A demotion will not be considered disciplinary action if it is a result of the employee failing to satisfactorily complete a required probationary period upon promotion or transfer; in conjunction with the layoff or "bump" of the employee; or the voluntary or contractually required transfer or reassignment of the employee to a position allocated at a lower level, if voluntary, or required by Civil Service merit-based rules, or this contract, if unaccompanied by disciplinary action of some other kind. Placing an employee on "lost time" (leave without pay) for the period of an employee's unauthorized absence from work shall not be considered disciplinary action. However, if the employee has requested authorization to use accrued leave credits for such time and it is denied, the denial shall not be exempt from the scope of the grievance procedure solely on the basis that the denial is not disciplinary action. The decision whether to offer an employee the option to forfeit accrued annual leave, or assess the suspension, shall be in the sole discretion of the Employer, and is not grievable. Just cause for disciplinary action will include, but not be limited to:
