Disciplinary Measures 16.01 Any disciplinary measure must be the subject of a written notice addressed to the Employee concerned and stating the reasons for the measure. Such notice must be sent simultaneously to the Union. Only those disciplinary measures of which the Employee and the Union have been informed in writing can be used as evidence in arbitration and can appear in the Employee's personnel file. 16.02 Except in the case of the discharge of Employees serving a probationary period, for any Employee who is discharged, suspended, or given a written warning, the Union may submit her/his case to the grievance procedure and if necessary to arbitration. 16.03 In all cases of disciplinary measures, the University has the burden of proving that the disciplinary measure was imposed for just and sufficient cause. The arbitrator may confirm or reject the disciplinary measure or render any other decision that she/he judges equitable under the circumstances. 16.04 In the event that a University representative finds it necessary to summon an Employee for disciplinary reasons (written warning, suspension, or dismissal) the Employee has the right to be accompanied by a Union representative. 16.05 A suspension does not interrupt the continuous service of an Employee. 16.06 No disciplinary measure may be imposed later than fifteen (15) days after the incident which gave rise to it or of the University having become aware of it. 16.07 No confession signed by an Employee may be used against her/him during arbitration unless it is a question: of a confession signed in the presence of a union delegate; of a confession signed in the absence of a union delegate but not denounced by the Employee in writing, within seven (7) days of its being signed. The University will forward a copy of the confession to the Union as soon as it is received.
