Discipline and Termination. 1. Progressive discipline is the concept of increasingly more severe actions taken by supervisors and 2. Unacceptable conduct that warrants disciplinary action up to and including termination may include, but is not limited to, policy violations, disruptive behavior in the workplace, insubordination, criminal activity (as defined in Article V. Employment, Section F. Discipline and Termination 9.2.2.1.), or grievous action (as defined in Article V. Employment, Section F. Discipline and Termination 9.2.2.3). Termination may also result from unsatisfactory performance. 3. Except for those who may be terminated during their introductory period, no bargaining unit member shall be disciplined or terminated except for just cause. The just cause provision shall not apply to the separation of bargaining unit members due to retrenchment (Article V. Employment, Section J. Retrenchment). 4. The principles of progressive discipline shall be applied to disciplinary action. The determination of unacceptable conduct shall be made by the supervisor in consultation with Human Resources. Employees who are disciplined shall have access to the grievance procedure set forth in this Agreement and Association representation throughout the discipline and grievance process. 5. Although discipline will normally be imposed in a progressive manner, where appropriate the College may skip or repeat steps based upon the circumstances of any given case. The level of discipline will be dictated by the severity of the infraction, the employee’s prior work history, and any other mitigating or aggravating factors.
