Imposition. Disciplinary action may be imposed without warning notice or written reprimand if an offense is a flagrant violation or when the reason for disciplinary action is such that failure to take immediate action would not be reasonable and prudent. Immediate action will be considered reasonable in matters exemplified by but not limited to possession or under the influence of intoxicants or drugs, fighting or dishonesty. If the Department Director or other supervisor has reason to believe that there is cause for discharge, he shall suspend the employee with pay for five (5) calendar days and shall deliver to the employee and the Union a written notice of such suspension and pending dismissal. Such notice shall specify the principal grounds for such action. Unless otherwise resolved, the dismissal shall become effective at the end of the five- day suspension. Protest of the discharge of any employee shall be made only through the grievance procedure set forth in Article XV. The Union may process a grievance concerning suspension or discharge, or both, at Step II of the grievance procedure.
