Types of Discipline Disciplinary action may be imposed upon an employee for just cause, which includes but is not limited to failing to adequately fulfill his/her responsibilities as an employee and on- or off-duty conduct, which relates to an employee’s ability to satisfactorily perform his/her job. Examples of the type of disciplinary action, which may be imposed, include the following:
Removal of Discipline Any reprimand notices or disciplinary measures will remain on the employee or owner operator's file for one year from the date of notice or reprimand unless there is a re- occurrence of the same or similar infraction. At the completion of the one year period, the reprimand or disciplinary notice will be removed from the file. Said files to be removed shall not be considered to be removed but shall be physically removed and destroyed. If a repeat infraction occurs within the one year period, the original and subsequent notices or reprimands will remain on the file for a further year from the date of the most recent notice or reprimand. Reprimand notices and disciplinary measures resulting from violations of a criminal or civil nature, including driving record, will remain part of the employee or owner operator's file indefinitely. Whenever an employee or owner operator signs a document pertaining to discipline, he/she does so only to acknowledge that he/she has been notified accordingly.
Administration of Discipline At the time formal discipline is imposed or at any stage of the grievance procedure, an employee shall have the right to the presence of her committee member. In the case of suspension or discharge, the committee member will be present unless the employee waives this right in the presence of the committee member. Wherever the Hospital deems it necessary to suspend or discharge an employee, the Hospital shall forward to the Union notice of such suspension or discharge in writing, at the same time it is given to the employee.
Notice of Discipline All notices of disciplinary action shall include a statement of the reasons therefor and a statement advising the employee that the action is subject to Article 20,
Forms of Discipline Discipline includes oral and written reprimands, reduction in pay, suspension, demotion, and discharge.
