ASSOCIATION AND EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES. A. All employees shall fully, faithfully and properly perform the duties of their employment.
ASSOCIATION AND EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES. A. Employees shall be at their work station for the days contracted. Any unexcused absence may result in a loss of pay for the duty time missed and an entry to that effect in the employee's personnel file. Unexcused absence may be cause for disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. The Board retains the right to require, at the Board's expense, that an employee undergo a medical examination to confirm good cause for an absence. In situations where an employee has been notified in writing by the Human Resources Department that his/her absence record suggests a possible pattern of excessive use or abuse, the Board may require an employee, at Board expense, to provide medical verification for similar future absences until the absence record shows significant improvement or the concern has abated. This notification shall only constitute the beginning of progressive discipline and not discipline in and of itself. Future repeated behavior of the same nature may trigger progressive discipline.
ASSOCIATION AND EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES. A. The Board and the Association subscribe to the principle that differences shall be resolved by appropriate and peaceful means, in keeping with the high standards of the profession, without interruption of the school program. Accordingly, the Association agrees that during the term of this Agreement, it will not instigate, participate in, encourage or support any strike, as defined by Section I of Public Act 379 of 1965 of Michigan as amended, against the Board by an employee or group of employees.
