Employee Discharge. It is agreed that employees shall not be prematurely discharged, after the date of this Agreement, but that in all instances in which the Board may conclude that an employee’s conduct may justify discharge, such employee shall first be suspended without pay. In all cases of suspension, the board shall promptly notify the Union Xxxxxxx in writing. Such initial suspension shall be not more than five (5) regularly scheduled working days, and if such suspension is converted to a discharge shall not be made until the end of said five (5) day period. During the period of initial suspension, the employee may, if he believes he has been unjustly dealt with, request a hearing with respect to the action at the second step of the grievance procedure before the Union representatives and the Supervisor. After such hearing, or if no such hearing is requested, the Superintendent shall decide, dependent upon the facts of the case, whether the suspension without pay already given is considered sufficient, should be extended, should be converted into a discharge, or that the employee should be reinstated with full back pay. This paragraph is not intended to, nor will supersede, any other portion of this contract unless specifically excluded.
