Disciplinary Actions Disciplinary Actions and Appeals shall be governed by SP&P, TSHRS regulations and TSHRS Disciplinary Action Policy 7G.l.
Notice of Disciplinary Action The Employer shall advise an Employee in writing of any disciplinary action taken including, but not limited to warning, reprimand, suspension, discharge or termination and the reasons in full for such action, at the time of taking any such action. The Employer shall also promptly provide the Union with a copy of each such disciplinary notice. If the matter is grieved by the Union, or otherwise litigated in any manner, the Employer shall be limited to those grounds (reasons) specified in the disciplinary notice for the action(s) taken.
Right to Grieve Disciplinary Action Employees shall have the right to grieve written censures or warnings, and adverse employee appraisals. Employees shall have the right to rebut in writing any disciplinary notice and that rebuttal will be placed in the employee file, but will not be part of the formal disciplinary record. Should an employee dispute any such entry in his/her file, he/she shall be entitled to recourse through the Grievance Procedure and the eventual resolution thereof shall become part of his/her personal record.
DISCHARGE AND DISCIPLINARY ACTION 10.01 A claim by an employee that they have been discharged or suspended, without just cause, shall be a proper subject for a grievance. Such a grievance shall be submitted in writing to the Employer at Step Two within ten (10) working days after the employee receives notice that they have ceased to work for the Employer or has been notified of the suspension, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the time limits contained in Article 9.03 Step Two, the Parties will meet in an attempt to resolve the grievance within five (5) working days of said grievance being filed at Step Two.
