Assault Any case of assault upon a teacher which occurs in the line of duty shall promptly be 20 rights and obligations with respect to such assault, and its legal assistance to the teacher in 21 connection with handling of the incident by law enforcement and judicial authorities. In such 22 event, the following shall apply:
Assault Leave Notwithstanding the provision of Section 3319.141 of the Ohio Revised Code, the employer will grant assault leave to cover employee absence due to disability resulting from assault under the following conditions. Any certified teacher who must be absent from his or her duties due to disability resulting from an assault which occurs in the course of an employee's Board employment, on or off school premises before, during or after school hours will be paid his or her full scheduled compensation for a maximum period of thirty (30) days. If permanently disabled, the teacher must apply for disability retirement and no assault leave shall be granted after such retirement has been approved. The period of such absence, as defined in this provision, shall be termed "assault leave." Before assault leave can be approved, the teacher shall furnish to the superintendent a written, signed statement describing the circumstances and events surrounding the assault, and the cause thereof, including the location and time of the assault, name and address of victims and witnesses and a description of the injuries sustained by each victim of the assault, unless physically impossible to do so. If medical attention is required or sought, the teacher shall also furnish to the Superintendent a statement of the nature of the disability and its duration, which has been signed by a physician licensed in the State of Ohio. Falsification of either the written, signed statement of the events or circumstances surrounding the assault, or the physician's statement shall be grounds for suspension or termination of employment under 3319.16 O.R.C. Assault leave, which is approved by the Superintendent, shall not be charged against sick leave earned or earnable by the teacher on leave granted under regulations adopted by the Board, pursuant to 3319.08 O.R.C. or any other leave to which the teacher is entitled. Assault leave benefits shall not be paid if Workers' Compensation benefits are paid to the teacher.
Assaults An employee who is assaulted while in the performance of assigned duties shall promptly report the assault to the Employer. The Employer shall promptly investigate the incident and render such assistance as necessary under the circumstances, including reporting and cooperating with law enforcement authorities.
Antiretaliation The Recipient shall not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any worker because such worker has filed any complaint or instituted or caused to be instituted any proceeding under or related to compliance with the E.O. or this clause, or has testified or is about to testify in any such proceeding.
No Harassment Contractor does not engage in unlawful harassment, including sexual harassment, with respect to any persons with whom Contractor may interact in the performance of this Agreement, and Contractor takes all reasonable steps to prevent harassment from occurring.
Behaviour No obscene or insulting language or disorderly behaviour shall be permitted. This includes any form of entertainment that may be considered lewd or inappropriate for a public place or that may offend or cause embarrassment to others.
Sexual and Personal Harassment The Employer shall provide and the Union and Employees shall support a workplace free from personal or sexual harassment and any other harassment based on the protected characteristics set out in Article 2.04. The Employer shall maintain a policy on workplace harassment.
Investigation of Accidents The Occupational Health and Safety Committees, as provided in Clause 22.2, shall be notified of each accident or injury and shall investigate and report to the Union and Employer on the nature and cause of the accident or injury. In the event of a fatality the Employer shall immediately notify the President of the nature and circumstances of the accident.
Personal Illness Employees may use accumulated sick leave for hours off due to personal illness. The employee may be required to furnish a medical certificate from a qualified physician as evidence of illness or physical disability in order to qualify for paid sick leave as per District practice. Accumulated sick leave may also be granted for such time as is actually necessary for office visits to a doctor, dentist, optometrist, etc.
PROFESSIONAL AUTONOMY 1. Teachers shall, within the bounds of the prescribed curriculum, and consistent with effective educational practice have individual professional autonomy in determining the methods of instruction, and the planning and presentation of course materials in the classes of pupils to which they are assigned.
