Disciplinary Measures 19.01 Any disciplinary measure must be the subject of a written notice addressed to the employee concerned and stating the reasons for the measure. Such notice must be sent simultaneously to the Union. Only those disciplinary measures of which the employee and the Union have been informed in writing can be used as evidence in arbitration and can appear in the employee's employment file.
Appeal of Disciplinary Action If the Union is not satisfied with the response of the Town Supervisor, the Union may submit the matter to arbitration by filing a demand for arbitration with the New York State Public Employment Relations Board in accordance with its rules and regulations. The demand for arbitration must be filed within fourteen calendar days of receiving the response from the Town Board or when the response should have been received. The fees of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Town and the Union. The conduct of the arbitration shall be under the exclusive jurisdiction and control of the arbitrator which shall conform to applicable law. All decisions rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties.
Types of Disciplinary Action It is the intent of the District to establish disciplinary procedures which are commensurate with the reasons or causes for disciplinary action. The principle of progressive discipline should be applied when repeated action is necessary. The following types of disciplinary action are listed in order of their increasing severity.
Appeal of Discipline Permanent unit members who are deprived of salary or other loss in compensation or property rights as a result of the imposed discipline may appeal the disciplinary decision under Article XXI, Section 21.3.5, Arbitration, of the Grievance Procedure. Nothing herein shall prevent the parties from mutually agreeing to utilize Step IV, Mediation, of Article XXI, prior to Step V, Arbitration.
Notification of Disciplinary Action When an administrative investigation leads to disciplinary action, the procedures for notification to the employee contained in Article 19 shall be followed.
Pre-Disciplinary Meeting The College will schedule a pre-disciplinary meeting to permit the faculty member to respond to a notice of intent to discipline. At the beginning of any pre-disciplinary meeting, the College will describe its proposed discipline and the general reasons for issuing the proposed discipline.
Types of Discipline The types of discipline recognized for purposes of applying one of the appeal procedures under this Article are:
Disciplinary Procedure (a) The disciplinary procedure applies if, following the investigation, the Employer reasonably considers that the Employee’s conduct or performance may warrant disciplinary steps being taken.
Disciplinary Appeals All forms of disciplinary action which are not appealable to the Civil Service Commission or the courts, except written or oral reprimands and Forms 475, shall be subject to review through Steps 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the grievance procedure.
Disciplinary Procedures The employing authority should ensure that all employees are aware of the disciplinary rules and procedures that apply. All employees should also be aware to whom they can apply if they are dissatisfied with any disciplinary decision. These procedures should accord with legal requirements and with the ACAS Code of Practice and guidance.
