Disciplinary Investigations and Meetings. In disciplinary investigations, an employee shall be afforded all Constitutional rights customarily associated with the Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx cases. If an employee is suspended prior to or during an investigation, they shall be in a pay status pending outcome of the investigation and/or disciplinary action. Employees shall be advised of their right to Union representation during any investigatory interview or meeting which could reasonably be expected to lead to disciplinary action. Union representation is not required at non-investigatory meetings such as those conducted to notify the employee of disciplinary action being taken or imposed.
Disciplinary Investigations and Meetings. Investigations shall be conducted in accordance with chapters 01.31 “Discipline” and 01.32 “Internal Investigations” of the Sheriff’s Office General Orders. The County agrees that, except for non-mandatory subjects of bargaining, these chapters will not be amended except by mutual agreement of the County and the Guild. The department may place an employee on administrative leave, with or without pay, pending an investigation. To the extent the Sheriff or any other appellate body finds that the discipline is not warranted, the employee shall be compensated for any loss in pay.
Disciplinary Investigations and Meetings. Employees are entitled to and will be advised of their right to Guild representation during any investigatory interview or meeting that could reasonably be expected to lead to disciplinary action. Although Guild representation is not required to inform employees of disciplinary decisions which have been made by the Agency, an employee’s request for Guild representation at non-investigatory meetings will be approved as long as the Guild had already been involved in the investigation process and/or it would not delay the meeting excessively.
