Employees will be given forty-eight (48) hours’ notice, the reason(s) for the meeting and will be advised that they are entitled to be accompanied at this meeting by a Union representative. Such notice shall be in writing. The Union shall be copied on any disciplinary letter within three (3) Business Days of such a meeting.
15.04 A documented oral warning or a written warning shall normally precede imposition of a suspension or discharge, except in the case of gross neglect of duty position abandonment, or gross misconduct.
15.05 Where an Employee has received a disciplinary letter, the Employee may attach comments to the letter and the comments will be placed in their personnel file.
(a) A disciplinary letter within an Employee’s personnel file shall be deemed null and void and removed from the file after a twenty-four (24) month period from the date of the letter, provided that no further discipline has been recorded within the period noted above.
(b) Where, upon an Employee’s graduation from their program at Queen’s University, a disciplinary letter has been in the Employee’s personnel file for a period of no less than twelve (12) months, such a disciplinary letter shall be removed from the Employee’s personnel file at their request.

15.07 In cases involving allegations of serious misconduct or a threat to the safety of a person or property, as a precautionary measure, the Xxxx (or delegate) of the faculty in which the Employee works may suspend the Employee with pay during an investigation. Within one (1) Business Day from the time of such a suspension, the Employer shall provide the Employee with a letter setting out the allegation or threat with a copy to the Union. The letter will inform the Employee of their right to Union representation in connection with the matter and a meeting will be scheduled between the parties within three (3) Business Days of the above letter being provided.

SUSPENSION AND DISCIPLINE 21.01 Discipline may be imposed where just cause exists and will be levied in a timely fashion. Generally, discipline is intended to correct undesirable behaviour or conduct and, where appropriate, shall be progressive in nature.

Satisfaction and Discharge SECTION 401.
DISCHARGE AND DISCIPLINE (a) No employee, who has acquired seniority, shall be discharged or disciplined except for just and sufficient cause. The Union agrees to co-operate in an endeavour to correct inefficiencies of employees which might necessitate disciplinary action. Discharge or discipline grievances may be settled by confirming the Company’s decision or by reinstating the discharged or suspended employee with full compensation for lost time, less interim earnings if applicable, or by any other arrangement which is just and equitable in the opinion of the parties or an Arbitrator.
(b) The Owner agrees that whenever an interview is held with an employee regarding their work or conduct which becomes part of their record, the store xxxxxxx on duty or another bargaining unit employee who is at work chosen by the employee shall be present. The party representing the Union will leave the meeting if requested to leave by the employee.
(a) All disciplinary warnings or reprimands which are placed in an employee's record and all notices of demotion for cause, discharge or suspension, shall be in writing and shall contain the reason for the warning, reprimand, suspension or discharge. One copy shall be given to the employee and one copy shall be given to the Employer and one copy shall be emailed to the Union Office as soon as possible, but no more than seven (7) days of the incident giving rise thereto.
(b) A disciplinary warning or reprimand which is not in writing shall not be adduced in evidence against an employee in any subsequent disciplinary proceedings in which the employee is involved.
(c) Disciplinary warnings and/or reprimands which pre-date a disciplinary action by more than one (1) year shall not be adduced in evidence against an employee in any subsequent disciplinary proceedings in which the employee is involved. Notwithstanding, disciplinary warnings and/or reprimands arising from Harassment or Violence in the Workplace shall not be subject to this provision.
Termination, Release and Discharge [The] [Each] Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and [the] [each] Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released and discharged from all obligations in respect of such Subsidiary Guarantee, as and when provided in Section 1303 of the Indenture.
DISCHARGE, SUSPENSION AND DISCIPLINE 10:01 A claim by an employee who has completed probation that he or she has been unjustly discharged shall be treated as a grievance if a written statement of such discharge is lodged by the employee with the Administrator or designate within five (5) days after the employee has received his/her discharge notice. Such grievance will be taken up by the Union at a special meeting with the Administrator.
10:02 It is agreed that the Chairperson of the Union Committee will be notified immediately on the dismissal of an employee in the bargaining unit. Should the Chairperson not be available at the time, a copy of the letter or notice shall be given to a Committeeperson who is available.
10:03 In the event the Employer initiates a disciplinary action against an employee that results in the suspension or discharge of the employee, the following procedure shall be followed:
(a) The employee shall be notified in writing, of the action and/or penalty with a copy given to the Chairperson, if the penalty is a suspension. If the penalty is discharge then only the Union (President or his/her designate) need be notified in addition to the employee.
(b) In the event the Employer is dissatisfied with the work of an employee and correction discussion has not resolved the problem, the Employer shall notify the employee in writing of the dissatisfaction concerning his/her work within five (5) working days when becoming aware of the incident giving rise to the complaint. This notice shall include particulars of the work performance which led to the complaint.
(c) The letter or form given to the employee shall state the complaint or appraisal of results and contain on the bottom thereof a statement to the effect that the employee acknowledges having read the letter or form acknowledging receipt of a copy of the same, and a place for the employee to sign. The employee shall sign the letter or form and a copy shall be given to her. Prior to signing, the employee shall have the opportunity to write her comments.
(d) The employee has the right to Union Representation in any proceedings under (a), (b) or (c) above.
10:04 Such grievance shall proceed directly to Step 2 of the grievance procedure and must be presented in writing, dated, and signed within five (5) working days after notice of the discharge was given.
10:05 Only those disciplinary notices that result in a suspension will remain on an employees personnel file for a period of fifteen (15) months. All other disciplinary notices, warnings or statements will be removed and given to the employee after a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the infraction.
10:06 An employee shall, upon written request, be granted the opportunity to view his/her personnel file. It is understood that such request will be granted within seven (7) days or at a time mutually agreed to by the parties. The employee may have a Committeeperson present while viewing their file, if requested.
10:07 The Union Chairperson or a Committeeperson will be present during all warnings, or counselling sessions regarding disciplinary actions of a seniority employee. When an employee is called to an interview and the subject of the interview is discipline, the employee will be so informed by the Employer’s representative when given notice of the interview, and will be advised to have her Union representative present. The interview will not begin or proceed without Union representation. A copy of any warning to be placed in an employee’s file must be copied to the Union Chairperson. Discipline is defined as a written warning, reprimand, suspension, dismissal or other disciplinary action to an employee.
