Common use of Guild and Employee Rights Clause in Contracts

Guild and Employee Rights. The Guild shall have the right to process any disciplinary action as a grievance through the grievance procedure, except for a verbal reprimand and except for employees serving an initial probationary period who are discharged. Written reprimands may be grieved only to Step Two of the grievance procedure (appeal to Mayor or designee), not Step Three (arbitration); if a written reprimand is timely grieved in accordance with the terms of the grievance procedure, the merits of the grievance may later be challenged if the written reprimand is relied upon to support a higher step of progressive discipline. The suspect employee and the Guild shall be entitled to Guild representation and/or legal representation at all meetings attended by the suspect employee where discipline is being considered for that suspect employee.
