(b) The Owner agrees that whenever an interview is held with an employee regarding their work or conduct which becomes part of their record, the store xxxxxxx on duty or another bargaining unit employee who is at work chosen by the employee shall be present.

(a) All disciplinary warnings or reprimands which are placed in an employee's record and all notices of demotion for cause, discharge or suspension, shall be in writing and shall contain the reason for the warning, reprimand, suspension or discharge.

DISCHARGE AND DISCIPLINARY ACTION 10.01 A claim by an employee that he has been discharged or suspended, without just cause, shall be a proper subject for a grievance. Such a grievance shall be submitted in writing to the Employer at Step Two within ten (10) working days after the employee receives notice that he has ceased to work for the Employer or has been notified of the suspension, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the time limits contained in Article 9.03 Step Two, the Parties will meet in attempt to resolve the grievance within five (5) working days of said grievance being filed at Step Two.
10.02 It is understood that an employee has the right to Union representation by a shop xxxxxxx or other Union Officer when discipline is given.

DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE 13.01 Whenever the Corporation deems it necessary to discipline, suspend or discharge an employee, the Corporation shall advise the employee within fourteen (14) days of becoming aware of the incident, giving written particulars of such censure to the employee with a copy to the President of the Union.

13.03 An employee who has completed his probationary period may be dismissed but only for just cause. When an employee is discharged or suspended, he shall be given the reason in the presence of his Xxxxxxx. Such employee and the Union shall be advised promptly in writing by the Corporation of the reason for such discharge or suspension.
13.04 A grievance claiming unjust discharge or suspension shall be submitted in writing to the Director of Human Resources within five (5) days of the date that the Union and the Xxxxxxx have been notified in writing of such discharge or suspension and it shall commence at Step 2 of the grievance procedure.
13.05 Should it be found upon investigation that an employee has been unjustly suspended or discharged, such employee shall be immediately reinstated in his former position without loss of seniority and shall be compensated for all time lost in an amount equal to his normal earnings during the pay period next preceding such discharge or suspension, or by any other arrangement as to compensation which is just and equitable in the opinion of the Parties or in the opinion of a Board of Arbitration, if the matter is referred to such a Board.
13.06 Any disciplinary notation or warning in writing shall be removed from an employee's record after a period of eighteen (18) months in which he has not received any disciplinary warning or suspension.

DISCIPLINE, SUSPENSION AND DISCHARGE
15.01 The Employer shall not discipline, suspend, or discharge an Employee without just cause.
15.02 The Employer and the Union recognize the principle of progressive discipline.
15.03 When an Employee is to be disciplined (e.g., documented oral warning, written warning, suspension, or discharge), such discipline shall only be imposed at a meeting with the Employment Supervisor specifically convened for this purpose. Employees will be given forty-eight (48) hours’ notice, the reason(s) for the meeting and will be advised that they are entitled to be accompanied at this meeting by a Union representative. Such notice shall be in writing. The Union shall be copied on any disciplinary letter within three (3) Business Days of such a meeting.
15.04 A documented oral warning or a written warning shall normally precede imposition of a suspension or discharge, except in the case of gross neglect of duty position abandonment, or gross misconduct.
15.05 Where an Employee has received a disciplinary letter, the Employee may attach comments to the letter and the comments will be placed in their personnel file.
(a) A disciplinary letter within an Employee’s personnel file shall be deemed null and void and removed from the file after a twenty-four (24) month period from the date of the letter, provided that no further discipline has been recorded within the period noted above.
(b) Where, upon an Employee’s graduation from their program at Queen’s University, a disciplinary letter has been in the Employee’s personnel file for a period of no less than twelve (12) months, such a disciplinary letter shall be removed from the Employee’s personnel file at their request.
(c) Article 15.06 (b) does not apply when the Employee registers immediately from one program at Queen’s University into another program at Queen’s University.
15.07 In cases involving allegations of serious misconduct or a threat to the safety of a person or property, as a precautionary measure, the Xxxx (or delegate) of the faculty in which the Employee works may suspend the Employee with pay during an investigation. Within one (1) Business Day from the time of such a suspension, the Employer shall provide the Employee with a letter setting out the allegation or threat with a copy to the Union. The letter will inform the Employee of their right to Union representation in connection with the matter and a meeting will be scheduled between the parties within three (3) Business Days of the above letter being provided. The parties may delay this meeting by written agreement pending the outcome of an investigation. The Employer will complete the investigation and inform the Employee of the results of the investigation, and of any corrective action that has been or will be taken, normally within ninety (90) calendar days of the commencement of the investigation, unless there are extenuating circumstances warranting a longer investigation. During any meetings between the Employee and the Employer during the investigation, the Employee may choose to be accompanied by a Union representative. Where, at the conclusion of the investigation, the allegations that were investigated are unfounded, there shall be no record of the investigation in the Employee’s personnel file. Where the allegations are founded, the Employer may take disciplinary action.
SUSPENSION AND DISCIPLINE 21.01 Discipline may be imposed where just cause exists and will be levied in a timely fashion. Generally, discipline is intended to correct undesirable behaviour or conduct and, where appropriate, shall be progressive in nature.
21.02 Prior to any discipline being imposed, the employee will be given notice in writing to attend a meeting, during which there shall be an opportunity for full discussion between the employee and the employee’s Manager. The notice will contain the subject matter to be discussed at the meeting and the employee shall be advised of his/her right to have an Association representative attend as an advisor. The management representative also has the right to have a labour relations representative attend as an advisor. At the meeting the employee and the Association representative may make representations and ask questions concerning the events and circumstances. Unless otherwise agreed, the unavailability of an advisor will not delay the meeting for more than one (1) working day from the date of notification to the employee.
21.03 When an employee is required to attend a meeting, the purpose of which is to render a disciplinary decision concerning him or her, the employee is entitled to have, at his or her request, a representative of the Association attend the meeting. Where practicable, the employee shall receive a minimum of one (1) day’s notice of such a meeting. The Employer will agree where possible to an additional day of extension where the Association representative is unavailable.
21.04 The employee and the Association representative shall be notified in writing of any disciplinary action except an oral warning, taken against the employee by the Company within a reasonable period of time of that action having been taken.
21.05 When an employee is required to attend a meeting, the purpose of which is to demote or terminate him/her for non-disciplinary reasons, he/she is entitled to have, at his/her request, a representative of the Association attend the meeting. Where practicable, the employee shall receive a minimum of one (1) day’s notice of such a meeting. The Employer will agree where possible to an additional day of extension where the Association representative is unavailable.
21.06 When any discipline is found to be unjustified all documents referring to the discipline imposed shall be removed as soon as reasonably possible from the employee’s record and destroyed.
21.07 NAV CANADA agrees not to introduce as evidence in a hearing relating to disciplinary action any document or written statement concerning the conduct of an employee unless that employee has been provided with a copy of that document or statement within a reasonable period before that hearing.
21.08 Any document or written statement to disciplinary action, which may have been placed on the NAV CANADA file of an employee shall be removed and destroyed after two (2) years have elapsed since the disciplinary action was taken, provided that no further disciplinary action has been recorded during this period. The Employer shall inform the employee in writing of the destruction of any document or written statement related to disciplinary action.
21.09 The NAV CANADA Code of Business Conduct will not be interpreted as restricting an employee from exercising his or her obligations flowing from the ethical standards of the professional body to which the employee belongs.
21.10 NAV CANADA agrees to make available to each employee covered by this agreement the NAV CANADA Code of Business Conduct and any subsequent amendments made thereto.
21.11 Employees who, in good faith, raise a concern or report any clear or suspected illegal, unethical or improper acts or activities shall not be disciplined nor adversely affected as a result of reporting the violation.
