• Employee Responsibilities The Employer's policy with respect to employee responsibilities provides for employees:

• EMPLOYEE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES A. A secretary shall strive for excellence in his/her work, and take advantage of opportunities for continually improving his/her skills and relationships with the Board, co-workers, and the public. B. The Association and individual members thereof, agree to uphold and honor the policies, rules, regulations and practices of the Board and sections of this Agreement. Neither the Association, its representatives, nor any member, shall assume administrative or supervisory authority or direct employees to disregard the instructions or directions of the Board unless the Board is limited by this Agreement. C. Secretaries are responsible for maintaining a continuous high level of service to the welfare and benefit of the school district. Secretaries, therefore, are responsible for discharging their work assignments with proficiency and making a conscientious effort to meet all the duties of their positions. D. No Association representative, or secretary, shall engage in Association activities or business during employee working hours, without Board approval. E. The Association is hereby granted the right to reasonable use of school premises for its business meetings, after receiving prior approval from the Board, and providing it pays any overtime costs which may be incurred by the District. F. The Association may have reasonable use of the District's mail service and mailboxes for its business and social event announcements and may post notices on a part of the school bulletin boards in building lounges, provided all such announcements and notices contain the name of the Association officer or representative authorizing the same. G. Nothing in this Contract shall be construed to deny or restrict an employee's rights under the Michigan General School Laws, or applicable civil laws. The rights granted in this Contract are deemed to be in addition to those provided elsewhere. This paragraph is not deemed grievable under the grievance procedure herein. H. When the Board disciplines employees, it will not be arbitrary or unreasonable. No Seniority bargaining unit member shall be disciplined without just cause. I. A suspended or discharged seniority employee will be allowed to discuss his/her suspension or discharge with the President or Vice President for up to thirty (30) minutes. Nothing contained herein, however, shall prevent the Board from requiring the summary removal of the offending employee, if it appears that the safety of any person, property, or the maintenance of order requires such summary removal. J. The purpose of the installation of cameras/monitors is to increase the safety and security in that building. The Association, upon request, is entitled to information detailing where cameras/monitors are located in each building. It is specifically understood that surveillance equipment (i.e. cameras) cannot be used for purposes of staff evaluation or monitoring. It is understood that situations may arise warranting review of video. If any incident of illegal activity of staff is observed on the video, the Association will be immediately notified and will be given the opportunity to review the tape(s) within three (3) days of receipt of the notice.
