Alternative Discipline. The Parties recognize that Alternative Discipline may be an effective tool to correct or improve employee behavior. The use of alternative discipline is at the discretion of management and the decision to use or not use alternative discipline may not be grieved. Information on and examples of alternative discipline can be found at xxx.xxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx and xxx.xxx.xxx/xx/xxxxxxxx/Xxxxxxx0-x.xxx. One example of alternative discipline is a last chance agreement (LCA). Management has the discretion to offer or rescind an offer of a last chance agreement.

Such changes may be subject to bargaining in accordance with the provisions of Article 5.

Alternative Discipline. The Parties recognize that traditional discipline may not be indicated in all cases. In many situations alternative discipline techniques may provide a more constructive approach to positively influencing future behavior.

Alternative discipline is a means to replace traditional disciplinary and adverse actions with non-traditional penalties such as community service, donation of annual leave to the leave transfer program, use of leave without pay instead of suspensions, or combinations of these or other agreed-to alternatives. The option to enter into an alternative discipline agreement is voluntary on the part of the employee. All alternative discipline agreements will include a clause informing the employees that they may discuss the agreement with a Union representative before signing.
