A conference memo is a written record about work performance issues issued after a face- to-face meeting or a telephone discussion if the employee or supervisor is unable to personally meet. When the District determines that a formal conference memo is to be issued, the following procedures shall apply: a. The conference memo will be signed by the issuing supervisor. The employee shall have the right to sign the conference memo in accordance with Section 2.2. b. A copy of the memo will be given to the employee. The supervisor shall make reasonable efforts to obtain the signature of the employee acknowledging receipt of the memo or of a witness that the conference memo was delivered. c. Any written response from the employee shall be attached to the memo and retained with the file copy. Neither the District nor the employee shall consider the conference memo by itself to constitute discipline. Any use of conference memo in subsequent disciplinary proceedings shall be to establish that the employee had notice of the concerns expressed in the conference memo. The underlying facts which gave rise to the conference memo (e.g., absence or tardiness record or the employee conduct at issue) may be presented in the disciplinary proceeding. With the exception described below, annual evaluations shall not be based on conference memos issued in prior annual evaluation periods, but such conference memos may only be referred to as establishing prior notice to the employee of the concerns set forth.
