Completion of Investigation. No employee covered by this Agreement shall be suspended without pay, demoted or dismissed as a result of an investigation without first having been given notice in writing of the disciplinary action to be taken.

A Union representative/xxxxxxx may be present. At that meeting the appointing authority or his/her designee will give the employee an explanation of the employer’s evidence against the employee (if that has not already been provided) and offer the employee an opportunity to respond. No AFSCME member shall conduct the investigation of another AFSCME member. However, AFSCME supervisors will be responsible for intake of Administrative Personnel Complaints and conducting preliminary inquiries to assist in the determination of whether there is reasonable cause to conduct formal investigations or close out complaints.
