GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY. It is the City's belief that rules of conduct are most effective when they are written and communicated to employees and supervisors, consistently enforced, and the difference between major and minor forms of misconduct recognized. The City's goal is to administer discipline on an equitable and corrective basis. Effective discipline reinforces training by identifying rules and their reasons, correcting misconduct or improving job performance, serving as a deterrent through enforcement, and penalizing in relation to the severity of the offense and the employee's past record. In general, the City will not use supporting documents older than three (3) years when considering a disciplinary action. At the request of the employee, Union representation will be provided during investigative conferences that may result in formal discipline. Formal discipline is defined as a minimum of a written reprimand. If the supervisor anticipates that discipline, resulting in a written reprimand or greater discipline will result, the supervisor shall notify the employee that they have a right to request Union representation prior to further discussion of the issue.
GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY. The use of illegal drugs and the abuse of legal drugs and alcohol by employees of the District presents unacceptable risks to the safety and well-being of other employees and the public, in addition to being unlawful in some cases. Therefore, it is agreed by the Union and District that the manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of a controlled substance or alcoholic beverage or the abuse of legal substances which may impair or adversely affect and employee’s ability to perform his or her job, is prohibited on all District properties at any time by an employee or guest, and at all times and places wherever any employee is performing employment duties for the District. In addition, all employees are prohibited from entering upon District property or from being at any time or place while performing employment duties for the District, while under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substances (Drug Free Workplace Act, 30 ILCS 580/1 et seq.). It is the policy of the District to help provide a safe work environment and to protect the public by insuring that employees for the District are free from the effects of drugs and alcohol in the performance and pursuit of their duties.
GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY. The disciplinary process described herein is designed to utilize progressive steps, where appropriate, to produce positive corrective action. While the School District intends that, in most cases, progressive discipline will be administered, the specific form of discipline chosen in a particular case and/or the decision to impose discipline in a manner otherwise is solely within the discretion of the School District. The School District shall not meet with a member of the teacher bargaining unit for the purpose of questioning the teacher during an investigation that may lead to discipline without first offering the teacher an opportunity for AEA representation. Any teacher waiving the right to such representation must do so, in writing, prior to the questioning.
