DISCHARGE OR SUSPENSION 10.1: The parties agree that the employees covered hereby will not be subject to discharge solely because of political reasons. Further, the Union recognizes and respects the statutory rights of the County and Sheriff; and the Employer recognizes and respects the statutory rights of the employees.
10.2: The Sheriff and/or his designate shall not discharge or suspend any employee without just cause. Any violation(s) which warrants a suspension shall be in writing. One (1) copy will be given to the employee, one (1) copy will be forwarded to the Union, one (1) copy will be forwarded to the Personnel Director by the Sheriff, and the Sheriff will retain the original. An error in furnishing copies shall not affect the merits of the discipline. Suspension notices shall remain in effect for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) calendar months from the date of the suspension notice. Any employee receiving three (3) suspension notices within fifteen (15) calendar months may be discharged with cause; however, this shall not be construed as requiring a specified number of suspension notices before discharge may be imposed.
10.3: All suspensions and/or discharges issued by designates of the Sheriff shall be reviewed by the Sheriff or his designee within twenty-four (24) hours following the suspension and/or discharge. If, in the opinion of the Sheriff, the suspension or discharge was unwarranted, the employee shall be reinstated in his position without loss of seniority or wages for the period of his discharge or suspension.
10.4: In the event an employee is accused and/or charged with an offense or with acts of misconduct that involve possible criminal action, the employee shall not be required to make any statements concerning the alleged offense without:
A. Having a Union representative present, or,
B. Without being presented with a written charge. Such written charges shall be provided as soon as possible but not more than seventy-two (72) hours subsequent thereto. The meeting with the Sheriff or his designated representative shall then be held as soon as possible but not more than forty-eight (48) hours after receiving the written charges. The employee against whom charges have been made may be represented at such meeting by a xxxxxxx or any Union member of his own choosing.
10.5: The Employer shall provide to an employee civil legal counsel necessary to cover any civil litigation arising out of the good faith performance of the officers duties by any law enforcement officers covered by this Agreement. The Employer will not provide legal assistance in defense of violations to the statutes or any ordinances, state, federal or local, allegedly committed by any law enforcement officers covered by this Agreement. The Employer shall not provide legal assistance for any alleged criminal misconduct of an officer at any time.
DISCHARGE AND SUSPENSION A. A suspended or discharged seniority employee will be allowed to discuss his/her suspension or discharge with the President or Vice President. The Board will allow the discussion before the employee is required to leave the property of the Board. If the President or Vice President is not available during the discharged employee’s shift, the employee may meet with the President or Vice President on Board property up to twenty-four hours after the end of his/her shift. Nothing contained herein, however, shall prevent the Board from requiring the summary removal of the offending employee if it appears that the safety of any person, property, or the maintenance of order requires such summary removal. The President or Vice President will not allow other employees to become involved in the discussion. Upon request of the Association, the Board’s designated representative will discuss the suspension with the Association representative and the employee.
B. Grievances protesting the discharge or suspension will commence at Step Two and must be filed within three (3) working days after the action was taken. Failure to abide by this time limit shall be construed as a waiver, by both the Association and the employee involved, of any protest of the action. If a seniority employee is notified that he/she will be suspended, the suspension will not take effect, if a timely grievance has been filed, until after the third (3) step of the grievance procedure, unless the Board deems it is necessary to immediately suspend for maintenance of order, safety of person(s) or property.
C. Any award of back wages shall be limited to the amount of wages that the employee would otherwise have earned, less any compensation that he/she may have received from any source during the period of back pay.
D. The Board has the right to discharge for just cause. No seniority bargaining unit member shall be disciplined without just cause.
E. The Board agrees, when suspending or discharging an employee, to notify, in writing, the employee and the Association, including the UniServ Director.
F. In imposing discipline on a current charge, the Board will not take into account prior infractions which occurred more than two (2) years previously, nor impose discipline on an employee for inadvertent errors or mistakes on his/her employment application, after a period of one year from his/her date of seniority, except in cases of felony convictions.
Unjust Suspension or Discharge Should it be found upon investigation that an employee has been unjustly suspended, discharged or disciplined, such employee shall be immediately reinstated in his/her former position, without loss of seniority, and shall be compensated for all time lost in an amount equal to his/her normal earnings plus interest, or by any other arrangement as to compensation which is just and equitable in the opinion of the parties or in the opinion of the arbitrator if the matter is referred to such arbitrator.
DISCHARGE, SUSPENSION AND WARNING 22.01 When the attitude or performance of an employee calls for a warning by the Employer, such a warning shall be a written one, and a copy of this warning will be forwarded immediately to the regional office of Local 52.
22.02 An employee may be suspended or discharged for proper cause by the Employer. Within five (5) workdays following suspension or discharge, the employee involved, together with a Local 52 Representative, may interview the Employer concerning the reason leading to the suspension or discharge. Within five (5) workdays following the interview, the Union may submit the complaint to arbitration.
Discharge Grievance (a) An employee shall only be discharged from the employment for just cause, except that an employee who has not completed the probationary period may be released based on a fair and proper assessment against reasonable standards of performance and suitability. An allegation of action contrary to this clause may be taken up as a grievance. As a good labour relations practice, the Home agrees to provide written reasons within seven (7) calendar days to the affected employee in the case of discharge or suspension.
(b) Such grievance shall proceed directly to Step No. 1 of the grievance procedure and must be presented in writing, dated and signed within ten (10) days following the discharge.
(a) If an employee is to be reprimanded or disciplined, she may have a Union Representative present if she so requests.
(b) If an employee is to be suspended or discharged, the Employer shall notify her of this right prior to the outset of the meeting.
(c) The Union Representatives undertake to be reasonably available in person or by telephone for such meeting. In extraordinary circumstances when a Union Representative is unavailable, the Union Representative shall provide an alternate representative.

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.
No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.
(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.
(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations).
